Visitors from France, Ireland and Portugal are helping to boost the number of tourists in the Algarve, showing that the region is becoming attractive to those from the non-traditional markets of the UK and Holland.

Portugal's National Statistics Institute (INE) on Friday highlighted the "remarkable growth" of tourists from the United States visiting the country, which rose again in May by 18.3%.

The price of renting a property in Portugal is rising thanks to growing demand in the sector and making purchasing a property for rent in the country a sound investment for the future.

Away from the stunning beaches and championship golf courses the Algarve offers an amazing wealth of beautiful natural landscapes and these are being highlighted during the annual Algarve Nature Week, taking place across the region between April 13th and 22nd.

The way golfers around the world will calculate their handicaps is set to be transformed by a new system developed by the R&A and the USGA, with keyfeatures designed to provide all golfers with a consistent measure of playing ability.
