There is no doubt that mainland Portugal and the Portuguese holiday islands of the Azores and Madeira provide a destination for the event planner looking for splendid facilities, good food and excellent weather. To provide the best possible service to our customers, Ambient Events Limited has forged a working partnership with Miltours DMC - who has over 27 years experience in the market and is one of the leading DMCs in Portugal.
Miltours have offices in the Algarve, Azores, Lisbon, Madeira and Porto. Each of these venues have invested heavily to provide hotels and conference and meeting facilities that rank amongst the very best that Europe has to offer. The mix of destinations is renowned for wonderful beaches, hours of sunshine, beautiful countryside and historic towns and cities. An unbeatable combination and yet only a few hours flying time away from the major UK airports. And, when the hard work is over, there is a host of leisure sport and recreational activities to cater for everyone's needs.
Spotlight on Portugal
Ambient Managing Director, Robin Dilley has just returned from a private visit to Central Portugal and a break centred on Coimbra halfway between Porto and Lisbon. Travellers in this part of Portugal are able to sample a rich diversity of landscape from golden beaches in the west to mountains in the east. Coimbra, Portugal's third largest city is linked to both Porto and Lisbon by motorway and extremely efficient and very cost effective rail system means that the journey time from either is around 2 hours. Despite the strengthening of the Euro against the pound, he found that Portugal still represents excellent value for money to both the private and corporate traveller.
