Showcasing International Prestige

It has been a long time since many of us have had something to look forward to after the global pandemic put paid to holidays, social plans and public events being cancelled.

However, with November looming fast on the horizon Portugal's overall tourism sector looks to be getting back to some form of normality as we welcome two world-class events over the same weekend.

The eleventh month in the annual calendar will get off to a blistering start in the heart of the Golden Triangle. Firstly the hotly anticipated Portugal Masters will tee off on the 4th November before swinging into four days of transmitted action LIVE on SkySports.

A day later on the 5th November, the MotoGP motorcycle championships is set to attract nearly 70,000 people and generate a €40 million turnover for the local economy. This will go a long way to maintaining tourism throughout Portugal, as the country looks to get back to normal after COVID-19.

This new revenue has come as a welcomed boost for Luís Araújo, president of Turismo de Portugal. According to PortugalResident.com, he has dubbed the tournament "an important moment to showcase the international prestige of our country".

Portugal Masters 2021: 4th-7th November

Taking place at one of highly regarded and most sophisticated golf courses in Portugal, the Dom Pedro Victoria Golf Course Vilamoura will stage the 2021 competition - 14 years since its very first tournament back in 2007.

Vilamoura is the perfect location for this prestigious event with glorious weather on a unique course, but not forgetting the wide and undulating fairways, extensive water obstacles and well positioned bunkers that are sure to have the professionals at their best.

The Victoria golf course Vilamoura will reward heroic bravery, but it may catch a few people out throughout the four day contest.

Every year in October, the Algarve welcomes many star players from the PGA Tour. Past winners have included some of the game's finest names such as: Gearge Coetzee (2020), Padraig Harrington (2015), Shane Lowry (2011) Lee Westwood (2008) and many more. If you are lucky enough to win you could pocket a cool €1.500.000 in prize money - that should be enough to buy yourself a new set of clubs we should think…

 MotoGP Motorcycle 2021 Championships: 5th-7th November

Like many events across the calendar over the past 18 months, the 2021 MotoGP Motorcycle Championship was affected by the global pandemic, leading to the cancellation or postponement of many races.

After much deliberation, it was decided that COVID-19 would postpone the running of the Argentine or American Grands Prix. Instead, it was announced that both the races would be replaced with a second round in Qatar and a further round in Portugal.

Much like the Portugal Masters, the competition will almost certainly put the Algarve on the map once more and hold Portugal in high esteem for future competitions in the sporting calendar.
