The Porto City Council has been notified on 12
December by the European Consumers Choice, of the results of its
pre-application for European Best Destination 2014: Porto is in the shortlist
of 20 destinations selected to participate in the competition, which Porto has
already won once, in 2012.
The choice of Porto as European Best
Destination in 2012 has resulted in a strong promotion of the destination
through the guides:
- http://www.europeanconsumerschoice.org/travel/visit-porto-travel-guide/
- http://www.europeanconsumerschoice.org/travel/visit-porto-travel-guide/
For
three weeks, from 22 January to 12 February, travelers from all over the world
can vote on their favorite destination among the 20 shortlisted to participate
on the competition for European Best Destination 2014 at www.ebd2014.com.
The fact that Porto is once again on this
prestige shortlist, reflects its notoriety, attractiveness and excellence as a
tourism destination, as well as the dynamics of this major economic activity,
the one with the most growth potential and one of the major contributors for
national GDP.
The winner of the competition will be on the
spotlight on Europe’s biggest tourism website - www.europeanbestdestinations.org
- , and on the social networks of this non-profit organization, headquartered
in Brussels, having as goal the development and promotion of European culture
and tourism, of its diversity, richness and quality.
Porto counts on your vote :)
