- Decentralisation at the heart of tourism
- Description
-
In order to relieve pressure of high demand areas and facilities Porto has, as a part of its municipal master plan, promoted the dispersion of tourist flows and the creation of new centralities as well as stimulating the extension of stays. The decentralisation of tourism accommodation is encouraged by municipal regulations, and creation of new accessibilities and requalification of infrastructures have also had a pollinating effect, attracted new investors, and contributed to physical, economic, and social regeneration of these areas. Dispersion of fairs and markets has also created new poles of interest and attractiveness, reducing socio-spatial asymmetries.
