Vilamoura is one of the largest single tourist complex in Europe.
It is Portuguese, but also truly cosmopolitan. Away from the
hectic pace and the stress of the modern world, all who visit are
revitalised by the lifestyle, the convenience and the hospitality
of this truly special place (portugalvirtual.pt/_tourism)

The Organizing Committee wishes you and your families good health
and protection during this hard time.
With our best regards,
Maria Manuela Cruz-Cunha
