Congress

Porto is now one of the country’s main urban and tourism hubs, offering a solid hotel network, efficient transport options and infrastructure capable of hosting large-scale events. The city has established itself not only as a city break destination, but also as an important centre for congresses, fairs and professional gatherings, thanks to its combination of accessibility, installed capacity and operational excellence.

Event tourism plays an increasingly important role here. Porto offers modern venues, specialised teams and a value chain capable of responding quickly and professionally, making the city competitive within the European landscape. The integration of hospitality, culture, gastronomy and support services strengthens its appeal to both national and international organisations.

Hosting the AHP Congress in Porto reflects this reality. Choosing the city acknowledges its role in the development of Portuguese tourism and in positioning the country as a destination for professional events. Porto offers the ideal conditions to discuss trends, challenges and strategies, and to bring together the hospitality sector in a setting that combines identity, efficiency and a forward-looking vision.

ALFÂNDEGA DO PORTO

Alfândega do Porto plays a central role in event tourism. Located in Porto’s historic centre, along the Douro River, it is now one of the largest and most versatile congress centres in the country.

The historic building, restored and adapted to modern-day requirements, has been hosting major national and international events and has repeatedly been recognised with international awards such as Best Meetings & Conference Centre Europe.
