Portugal’s tourism sector continues to demonstrate a strong ability to attract international capital. According to recently released data, hotel investment in Portugal reached €508 million in the first half of 2026, representing a 54% increase compared to the same period of the previous year.
The most significant transactions were concentrated in high-quality assets located in Lisbon, Porto, and other strategic regions across the country. Investors from the United Kingdom, France and Spain were among the most active during this period.
This positive performance reflects not only international investors’ confidence in the Portuguese economy, but also the growing demand for tourism and hospitality assets. Portugal continues to benefit from its reputation as a safe, stable destination with an exceptional quality of life, factors that attract both visitors and investors alike.
In an increasingly competitive global environment, these figures confirm the country’s ability to attract long-term foreign investment and further strengthen its position as one of the most attractive markets in Southern Europe.
