By 10 Outubro, 20174.272 Comments

This World Tourism Day is to commemorated in Funchal in various ways, with proposals for all tastes.

The Funchal council offers free visits to the city hall and to the Henrique e Francisco Franco and the Cidade do Açucar museums.

But there are two items on the council-suggested agenda that should not be missed: the presentation of a geodiversity route through the Funchal historic centre and the unveiling of the map “Funchal for Families”. The celebration will finish with the first edition of Fados at the farmers’ market, starting at 21h, an event open to all. It is thus so that the municipal tourism strategy, presented last year, is now fulfilled, and has made a positive contribution to qualify Funchal’s touristic product.

This is the third time that the department of economy and culture of the council celebrates World Tourism Day. Through the mandate, various relevant initiatives were developed, like the opening of the first council tourism information kiosk, at Praça do Povo, which had over 100 thousand visits in less than one year, the launch of a new council tourism site (VisitFunchal) and a city guide for mobile devices (JiTT.Travel Funchal).
