Visit Portugal has ushered in the New Year with an innovative campaign, shifting the paradigm from tourism to 'Futourism.' Unveiled in Lisbon, the #It’s not tourism. It’s futourism campaign is more than a mere promotion; it's a call to action. With 12 New Year's resolutions, it seeks to inspire and mobilize individuals globally to embrace a transformative approach to travel.

This initiative is detailed in a BreakingTravelNews article and is not just about sightseeing; it is about making a commitment to actively participate in tourism development, with a focus on sustainability, inclusiveness and responsibility. Aligned with Portugal's Tourism Strategy 2027, the campaign aims to position the country as a leader in the tourism industry of the future, highlighting sustainable development as a core strategic principle.

The #Futourism movement encourages travelers to convert their journeys into authentic and sustainable experiences, creating a positive impact on local territories, environments, and communities. This comes at a time when Portugal is experiencing a surge in tourism, with record numbers of guests and revenue. The campaign also seeks to address challenges such as seasonality and the need for an environmental and digital transition in tourism.

The narrative of the campaign is poignant and thought-provoking. It argues against the status quo of "leave it as it is," advocating for a deeper, more responsible interaction with destinations. Futourism is about breaking conventions while preserving traditions, opening new horizons, and understanding that travel isn't just about one journey; it's about all future journeys. It's a movement of vigilance and consideration for everyone's future, where travelers are urged to leave no trace and fully immerse themselves with body and soul.

For the regular business traveler, the message is clear: traveling isn't just about moving from one place to another; it's about how you move and the legacy you leave behind. As the campaign says, it's about changing "screens for views," "roads for trails," and "lamps for stars." It's about choosing the unbeaten path and being a part of a larger movement.

Visit Portugal's campaign is a call to each one of us to not just be tourists but futourists, to be part of a transformative journey that respects and preserves the beauty and culture of destinations. It's a reminder that each trip we take is an opportunity to contribute positively to our world, embracing the evolution of knowing how to go, how to stop, and how to make each journey count for the future.
