Where can you still send clients this autumn or winter? Katie McGonagle finds out


mid the ups and downs of the current ‘corona-coaster’, where every week seems to bring some fresh wave of uncertainty, it’s important to look out for the little gems of good news.


The addition of Portugal to the UK government’s list of travel corridors was one such bright spark which some agents, including Triangle Travel’s Rob Kenton, said had driven a flurry of bookings for the remainder of 2020. While Portugal’s prospects for remaining on the ‘safe’ list were still unclear as Travel Weekly went to press, we take inspiration from those keen customers with some of the country’s best breaks this autumn and winter.

REV your engines at the grand prix


Get your Portugal sales off the starting grid by appealing to Formula One fans with a weekend at the Portuguese Grand Prix. The race is heading to the Algarve – specifically the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve in Portimão – on October 23-25 this year, and there’s still time to pick up tickets. It’s the first time the region has been chosen to host a grand prix – the last time the race was held in the country was 24 years ago in Estoril, near Lisbon – and organisers have confirmed spectators


will be able to watch from the sidelines. Book it: A B&B stay at Tivoli Marina Portimão starts at €472 per night in October for a one-bedroom apartment, with a minimum two-night stay. tivolihotels.com/en
