After analyzing the market and looking for concrete ways to expand services, LovelyStay, a leading company in the local accommodation management sector in Portugal, has increased its client portfolio and now has rural tourism accommodation spread throughout the country.
In addition to the need to have customised management services to serve clients spread across the country’s most varied villages and cities, after the pandemic, tourism has suffered major losses. Due to the crisis, the sector was extremely affected and people started to be afraid to travel to large urban centers. With this, rural tourism accommodation gained more visibility and higher demand.

As has already been said, Portugal goes far beyond Porto, Lisbon and the Algarve region. There are still many places ready to be explored and with plenty of conditions to receive tourists.
And as demand has changed, people are now looking for less crowded places, it is an ideal time for Portugal to expand its offer. Thus, and looking to meet the new needs of the market, LovelyStay now manages properties located throughout the country with contracts starting at 10% commission.
“This new management model is part of the company’s strategy and we have been implementing it since the beginning of 2020. With the pandemic and the changing profile of tourists, we have accelerated this process to better adapt and get clients across the country. If many did not opt for rural tourism accommodations for lack of time, experience or opportunity, now we can take the opportunity to develop small centres and finally make them profitable by attracting more tourists. The local economy also appreciates it”, says Miguel Marinho Soares, Head of Business Development at LovelyStay.
The management services can vary according to the client’s needs and, if you want a profitability study and a proposal, please contact us: sales@lovelystay.com.
