Given that major airlines such as TAP Air Portugal, Delta, United, and American Airlines offer direct flights from New York, Miami, Boston, Washington, Chicago, and San Francisco, the number of US expatriates increased by 36% in 2025.

The percentage increase in American tourists is not yet known for certain, but everything points to it being significant.

The total number of British passengers has not yet been released, but it is known that UK citizens spent around £2.2 billion in Portugal.

This figure is justified by the fact that Portugal remains one of the favourite destinations for British tourists, who statistically tend to spend more money when travelling abroad.

According to forecasts, the amount British tourists spend in the country is expected to rise by around 6% by 2028.
