Partnership proves that it's easy to get to Gerês from OPorto Airport
Last March 2015, Gerês Viver Turismo – Association for the Defense and Promotion of Gerês and the Get Bus company, started a partnership to promote the Peneda-Gerês National Park, namely, to communicate more effectively the already existing connections by bud between Porto Airport and Gerês.
The partnership was celebrated on 26 May with a trip, in a real context, between Porto Airport and Gerês, as well as a visit to the Núcleo Museológico de Vilarinho da Furna, located in the municipality of Terras de Bouro.
This trip served to test and prove how easy it is to get to Gerês by bus.
The following entities were represented in this initiative: County council of Terras de Bouro, Business Association Gerês Viver Turismo, Regional Development Association ADERE-PG, County council of Braga, companies Get Bus and Empresa Hoteleira do Gerês.
Gerês as a tourist destination in much sought after, both for its natural heritage as well as for its culture and many leisure solutions, it is also important to strengthen the promotion of this destination, which involves communicating and promoting the connections by bus that already exist between Porto Airport and Gerês, operated by the services of Get Bus, Transdev, Verde Minho and Empresa Hoteleira do Gerês, resulting from a joint effort in benefit of mobility to and from the tourist destination.
The partnership between public and private entities should be highlighted in this context, which facilitates the organization of information as well as the operationalisation of the transport service, optimising the offer in terms of mobility.
