Secretary of State of Portugal, Vice-Minister of Panama, President of Turismo de Portugal and President of Embratur at the VIII Tourism Forum “Portugal – Latin America”.

On March 2, 2016, Ana Mendes Godinho led the Institutional Opening of the IPDAL initiative, which once again brought together Latin American ambassadors with the main actors in Portuguese tourism.

Airlines, hotel groups, travel agencies, operators, associations and regional tourism entities also had the opportunity to contact Panama’s Vice Minister of Tourism, Jennifer Champsaur, and the President of Embratur, Vinicius Lummertz.

Latin American Ambassadors and diplomats had the opportunity to present the tourist destinations of their respective countries, contributing to the development of the way Portuguese businesspeople and authorities work in the Latin American market.
The closure of the initiative was in charge of the recently appointed President of Turismo de Portugal, Luís Araújo.

The VIII Tourism Forum “Portugal – Latin America” took place at the FIL Meeting Center, and was the first initiative in the Lisbon Tourism Exchange (BTL) program. It was organized by IPDAL, with the support of Caixa Geral de Depósitos, Travelport, Abreu Advogados, Sotheby’s, BTL and APAVT.
