Interpreting translation instructions

The instruction says not to translate the tags and their content, which seems ambiguous. I think this means we keep the elements and their alt text as is without translating them. That applies to both alt and src attributes. So, we can translate the overall article content, including paragraph text and bullet points, but the alt text and possibly the captions—like "Photo: Depositphotos.com @marchello74"—should remain in French.Translating article content

I see that there will be a spot allocated to an agency drawn from all participants. Then there’s more information about TAP Air Portugal as the "leading airline on the Europe-Brazil route." The third paragraph refers to the author, Manon Morelli, and I’ll need to translate that too. It’s important to keep the HTML structure intact, including the divs with "paras" and nested content.

Although there are no headings, I should rewrite within the same tags if needed. The content includes details about the TAP Challenge registration from July 8 to August 8, 2025, on www.tapagents.com, along with four competition categories that require translation into English.Translating detailed content

In the second paragraph, I’ll translate that the two top-performing agents in each category, based on cumulative turnover, will be invited on a familiarization trip to Brazil scheduled for the first quarter of 2026. Additionally, one more slot will be awarded to an agency chosen randomly from all participants. The third paragraph mentions TAP Air Portugal as the leading airline on the Europe-Brazil route, and it’s important to keep its programs aimed at French travel agencies intact. Lastly, I need to translate all specific details related to flights and destinations correctly, ensuring clarity in the English version.

Portugal in Summer: Unique Opportunities for Unforgettable Experiences

It’s precisely this diversity that makes the country an irresistible proposition for those seeking authentic and unforgettable experiences.

In a world where travelers increasingly seek personalization, authenticity, and connection, Portugal presents itself as the ideal setting for incentive programs, corporate events and tailor-made trips. At IN TOURS PORTUGAL, our mission is to transform every journey into an intimate encounter with the true Portuguese spirit, especially when summer is in full swing.

A Summer of Tradition and Discovery

It is easy to fall in love with Portugal in summer. Of course, the beaches of the Algarve, the Costa Vicentina, and Comporta remain iconic, but the true charm also lies in discovering less obvious corners, in living traditions and in experiences that go far beyond the crowds.

During the summer months, historic villages come alive, local markets overflow with fresh produce and the streets light up with local celebrations. Everywhere, there is a celebration. In Lisbon, the aroma of grilled sardines blends with the music of neighborhood fêtes, while in Porto the sky is illuminated by the colorful balloons of the São João festival. In Alentejo, the warmth invites serenity, long outdoor dinners and leisurely strolls between vineyards and golden fields.

For travelers seeking authenticity, Portugal in summer offers a lifestyle that encourages slowing down. There is time to enjoy a glass of wine on a riverside terrace, time to explore villages where tradition remains intact, and time to admire unforgettable sunsets from rooftops overlooking historic cities.

A Destination to Experience

Summer in Portugal is an invitation to active discovery. Sailing trips on the Tagus or the Douro, exclusive regattas on the Atlantic, hikes along cliffs or bike rides through vineyard valleys, the country offers a wide variety of experiences blending nature, adventure and well-being.

For those who prefer a more cultural summer, the historic centers of Portuguese cities are true open-air museums. In Lisbon, the Alfama and Mouraria districts preserve the soul of the city with their labyrinthine lanes, centuries-old azulejos and hidden miradouros. In Porto, Ribeira remains a living postcard, but it is in creative workshops, wine caves and renovated markets that the city reveals its most contemporary face.

At IN TOURS PORTUGAL, we craft these authentic and tailor-made experiences with meticulous attention to detail, tailored to each group and objective. We offer personalized itineraries that showcase the best of Portugal in summer—whether through exclusive dinners in historic palaces, private sunsets in secret venues, outdoor activities or gastronomic programs celebrating the season’s flavors.

The Value of Human Encounters

What truly makes Portugal special is the warmth of its people. Summer is the season when the country opens its arms even wider, with sincere hospitality and smiles freely offered.

More than destinations, IN TOURS PORTUGAL offers encounters. We work with local producers, artisans, chefs, guides and hosts who are passionate about sharing their stories and culture. It is these people who make the difference and render each program unique and unforgettable.

Portugal, especially in summer, is a place where human connections naturally form—around a shared table at a local market, during a tile-painting workshop, on a sunset boat ride, or in spontaneous conversations with those who know how to tell their country.

A Strategic Destination for Travel Agencies

Today, Portugal is a highly competitive destination for travel agencies and event organizers. Its air connectivity, quality infrastructures, safety, award-winning gastronomy and wide range of unique experiences make it a strategic choice for leisure and business tourism.

Portugal is a destination suited to both small exclusive groups and large-scale events, with options ranging from charming boutique hotels to contemporary venues and outdoor spaces offering spectacular views.

At IN TOURS PORTUGAL, we provide travel agencies with our in-depth knowledge of the country, our creativity and our network of trusted partners. We work closely with our clients to create personalized programs that surprise and add value, while ensuring dedicated and flexible service.

Porto, an immersion between stone, river and light

Porto is a concentrated blend of culture, history and traditions.

Its historic center, Ribeira, invites wandering through a maze of cobbled lanes, lined with colorful houses and flowering balconies.

From the majestic Sé Cathedral to the famous Dom Luís I Bridge, passing by the São Bento station and its magnificent azulejos portraying Portuguese historical scenes, every corner of the city tells a story.

But Porto is not stuck in the past.

It also stands out for its vibrant cultural scene: contemporary art museums, independent galleries, music festivals, urban design, and iconic bookstores like Lello, thought to have inspired J.K. Rowling.

The city appeals to history enthusiasts, art lovers, casual strollers, and those keen on modernity.

Gastronomic experiences not to be missed

It is impossible to visit Porto without diving into its rich and tasty culinary scene. Northern Portugal is renowned for its hearty and convivial cuisine. Among the must-try specialties are, of course, the francesinha, a indulgent toasted sandwich drenched in a spicy sauce, tripas à moda do Porto, bolinhos de bacalhau, and the famous cod-based dishes.

Traditional markets like Mercado do Bolhão or the numerous traditional restaurants and taverns allow you to taste the local cuisine in a warm, convivial atmosphere. For the more curious, culinary tours also let you discover the secrets of this gastronomy by taking part in cooking workshops with passionate chefs. A unique way to immerse yourself in the culture of northern Portugal.

An exceptional wine-tasting getaway in Vila Nova de Gaia

No visit to Porto would be complete without a stop in Vila Nova de Gaia, the twin city located on the other side of the Douro River. It is here that the famous Port wine cellars stand, aging the region’s finest vintages. These historic cellars – such as Sandeman, Graham’s, Taylor’s, or Ferreira – open their doors to visitors for guided tours and tastings in a enchanting setting.

Porto, a city to explore according to your desires

Porto’s Nightlife: An Unmissable Festive Destination

Porto also captivates with its vibrant nightlife. After dark, the city becomes a hotspot for celebration.

From trendy bars on Rua Galeria de Paris to rooftop terraces and outdoor clubs, the city offers an eclectic nightlife, spanning electronic music, reimagined fado, and alternative atmospheres.

How to Get to Porto from France?

By plane : The fastest option. Many French cities (Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux, Nantes, etc.) offer direct flights to Porto’s Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport. Expect about a 2-hour flight and a time difference of one hour less upon arrival.

Whether you are a culture hunter, a history buff, a nature fan, or a foodie, Porto awaits with open arms and Travel One Portugal will guide you there with professionalism and passion.

Top of Travel

Portugal is bracing for a day of transport disruption. A nationwide general strike, planned for June 3, 2026, called by CGTP, the main Portuguese trade union confederation (Confederação Geral dos Trabalhadores Portugueses – Intersindical Nacional), could significantly disrupt flights, trains, metros, ferries and bus networks across the country, just weeks ahead of the peak tourism season.

According to the Portuguese public broadcaster RTP Notícias, the Federation of Transport and Communications Unions says that “all transport companies” are mobilized and that strike notices have already been filed.

The disruptions are expected to affect: the national railway company CP, and suburban trains, as well as metros, ferries, and urban buses in Lisbon and Porto.

Disruptions Expected in Public Transport

Air transport could also be heavily affected. The SNPVAC union, representing the cabin crew, has confirmed its participation in the social movement. According to RTP, TAP, Ryanair and easyJet flights could be disrupted.

Several Portuguese media outlets report up to 500 flights affected. The French-language magazine based in Portugal, Vivre le Portugal, which relays information from SIC Notícias, indicates that TAP could be particularly affected.

This mobilization aims to protest the government’s reform of labor law. The unions denounce, in particular, measures that facilitate dismissals and loosen certain subcontracting rules.
