Azores in the Top 5 of European destinations "is source of pride," says Vítor Fraga
The Regional Secretary for Tourism and Transport stated that it is a source of pride to see the Azores in the Top 5 of the best European destinations, being ahead of Paris, Milan, Brussels, Prague, Rome, Vienna or Madrid. In this regard, he stressed that this distinction "reflects what we are, but also what we have done."
"This is the recognition of the good work that has been carried out in a joint effort between public and private entities," Vítor Fraga said, highlighting the media projection of this type of event.
In this context, the government official pointed out that "during the three-week voting period, there were 118 thousand ‘sharings’ and over 6,400 comments about the Azores on social networks, and more than 170 press articles throughout Europe."
According to Vítor Fraga, this media attention "contributes to what we deem as important and that falls within the strategy for our Region, which is to communicate in a direct way to the potential target audience and show them our differentiating aspects."
