Investment in the Hospitality Sector in Portugal: Opportunities, Trends, and Sector Growth
Portugal has been standing out as one of the most promising investment destinations in Europe, especially in the hospitality sector. The consistent growth of tourism, combined with a stable political and economic framework, has transformed the country into a hub for global capital.
Tourism represents around 21.3% of the national GDP, placing Portugal among the European countries most dependent on this economic activity1. In 2024 alone, the country welcomed more than 30 million international visitors, a figure that surpassed pre-pandemic levels2.
In addition, cities such as Lisbon, Porto, and Faro stand out as urban tourism hubs, while regions like Alentejo, Douro, and the Azores are on the rise thanks to nature tourism and immersive experiences.
It is in this context that the Teppe Equity Venture Capital Fund emerges, a fund designed to capture the best opportunities in the hospitality sector, combining innovation, security, and returns for investors seeking to actively participate in the growth of tourism in Portugal.
Portugal: A Strategic Investment Destination
The Golden Visa Program positioned Portugal as one of the most effective destinations in Europe for converting investment in hospitality into immigration opportunities. Since its launch in 2012, authorities have reported over €7 billion of investment through this mechanism 3.
At the same time, the Bank of Portugal and Turismo de Portugal recorded historic revenues of €25 billion in the tourism sector in 2023, confirming not only the strength of the market but also its potential for continued growth 4.
This strong framework creates the ideal environment for investors seeking to combine security, profitability, and participation in an expanding sector.

- Sustainability: hospitality projects focusing on energy efficiency, eco-friendly materials, and green certifications are increasingly in demand.
