Bienal Turismo Rural Atlântico 2009

Welcome to the Fifth Biennial of Atlantic Rural Tourism.

From the very start this space was designed as a meeting point for those working in Atlantic island environments and who want to exchange ideas and be sure of their options in mapping out a strategy for tourism, designed for the size of each territory and for each and every island. We have also created a space for business, an important factor for a group of scattered islands where contacts are few and far between.

This is the time and place to hold a meeting for all small scale tourist operators in our region.

In this fifth edition of the meeting we are looking to new challenges and we hope for lively discussions on the topics proposed.

We hope that all of you will enjoy the opportunity to meet, talk and do business, which, after all, is what the Biennial is all about.
