New website promotes Iberian Peninsula
A new website designed to promote the Iberian Peninsula in other countries has been launched.
The portal has been jointly developed by the tourist offices in Spain and Portugal in an effort to encourage people to visit both sides of the border.
PortugalSpainBoth.com provides a range of information on both countries, including their various tourist attractions and activities.
For example, visitors are advised on where they can enjoy the best food and wine, beaches, sporting facilities and cultural sites.
Commenting on the move, Javier Pinanes of the Tourist Office of Spain said: "The Iberian Peninsula offers two distinct yet culturally-rich travel destinations in one."
If the website is successful in boosting tourism in both Spain and Portugal, both countries are likely to become more attractive to overseas property investors, as the demand for rental accommodation will increase.
According to e-Travel Blackboard, Spain attracted more than 58 million tourists last year, making it one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world.
