ERTA – the Algarve’s tourist board is dedicating it time to improve all of its tourists experience whilst visiting the Algarve, Portugal.
Dr. Nuno Aires who is the new president of the tourism board has made it very clear that he wants a holiday destination that makes people return year on year.
Dr. Aires believes that investing in training in particular the tourist sector will make the region stand out from the rest of the competition as a major player as a holiday destination for the summer and winter breaks. With golfing holidays at an all time high due to some low cost airlines reducing their prices recently, the winter is sure to bring a huge amount of tourism again to the Algarve region of Portugal.
Dr. Aires believes that the great weather and wonderful beaches already bring tourists back time after time but it is time to concentrate on the level of service offered. He has noted that the majority of complaints received are targeted at the poor levels of service in restaurants and hotels, and that by offering training to these key areas will provide a more pleasurable holiday experience.
As mentioned earlier the golf industry in the Algarve is a major reason why many visitors come to the region out of the main summer periods. The Algarve is host to the Portuguese Masters which is based at the Victoria Golf resort in Vilamoura, this is a great sporting event that attracts enthusiasts from all over Europe.
The Algarve has seen a huge amount of property investors storming the region over the last few years which has led to many properties being offered for rent on a short term basis. Katie Smith from the worldwide holiday rentals company ‘Apartment and Villa Rentals’ states that over the last 5 years the Algarve in particular has seen a huge amount of property bought for the purpose of short term holiday rentals. A high number of the properties were purchased as an ‘Off Plan’ investment and many have been completed over the last 18 months. With this in mind we have seen a massive increase in property to rent in Portugal on the website. She continues to say that searches on the www.apartmentandvillarentals.com website have favoured regions like the Algarve and many of their clients have been fully booked for the periods from May until late September.
The Algarve is a fantastic wine producing area and seen increases in production over the last few years. Many of the regions wine producers have started to export further afield that Portugal, a certain Sir Cliff Richard has probably had a little to do with the recent success. Sir Cliff has his own vineyard in Central Algarve producing a great range of wines. A leading supermarket in the UK currently sells his range of wines, Cliff obviously does very well throughout the Algarve as his wine is a best seller in many supermarkets. A tour of his vineyards is also possible when visiting the region, a very interesting day out for wine lovers and fans of the great man.

Apartment and Villa Rentals is a new holiday rentals portal set up to enhance client’s potential to rent their property. The website has been running since the beginning of the year and has been successful in generating properties for rent.
We have properties listed in many different countries including Bulgaria, Spain, France, Florida, England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Portugal, Canaries and Cyprus.
Owning your own holiday home these days is something that most people are finding harder and harder to achieve. It pains me to say that it may be a while before we start to invest in the ‘vacation home’ like we did for the last 8 years. This however is great news for the holiday maker who would like to spend their vacations in accommodation that is a little more desirable than a hotel room. Imagine renting a villa close to Disney in Florida, an luxury apartment in Algarve Portugal or even a quaint cottage or manor house in Brittany France.
Self catering private accommodation is becoming more and more affordable in some of the most desirable locations around the world. With great low cost flights going to so many places it seems like the only right choice is to tailor make your own holiday, choosing the right flights to fit around your daily life and the accommodation that suits your needs, you can even book a transfer in resort or car hire for collection at your arrival airport.
We have a wide range of properties available like studios, being the smallest and the most similar to a hotel room except you normally find that the studio will have a semi or full kitchen. Different sizes of apartments are available starting from a 1 bedroom up to a 4 bedroom apartment. Apartments are generally positioned in complexes and gated communities that may have a few different facilities to use like a communal pool, a gym, and restaurant and bar onsite. Some clients prefer to rent a villa for their holidays as they would like to have the privacy of your own space. Villas can be found in main resorts and also in some remote and secluded places outside of the main resorts giving you the peace of the countryside but at the same time within easy driving distance of a town.
Many villas come with the added bonus of a private swimming pool; this is a great feature giving you peace of mind that the children will be well occupied.
www.apartmentandvillarentals.com offers self catering apartments, villas, cottages, townhouses and chalets for your holiday. We are not a rental agency so we do not charge any commissions or fees for any rentals generated through our website. When the client finds the vacation home they want to rent then they are directed straight to the owner. It is then the owner that confirms availability and prices and also takes the payment directly. At no point do we get involved with the booking; this gives you greater savings as you only pay the owners direct.
If you have a holiday home to rent then visit the website and register your details with us.

We are reaching the time of year when many people will be thinking of their 2009 holiday and assessing what they can afford to spend and where they would like to go. Renting a holiday or vacation home is a fantastic idea as it allows flexibility and allows the holidaymaker to tailor their holiday to their particular budget by having the option of having self catering meals at home rather than being forced to go out for breakfast or kept to a timetable of a hotel board basis every day. Property owners can advertise their property for rent for the whole year or just when they aren’t using it.
January is historically the busiest month for holiday bookings, despite the credit crunch many people are planning their 2009 holiday and booking now to take advantage of special offers and the many online sales and discounts that online flight-only companies are offering such as Easyjet, Thomson fly and Ryanair.
If you haven’t yet booked your 2009 holiday, whether a winter sun break or a summer holiday then why not visit www.apartmentandvillarentals.com see what fantastic properties are up for rent this year!
