Description: The BTT Accommodation will be established at Rua Mouzinho de Albuquerque, nº 37 and 39 - Vouzela, promoting local tourism by offering accommodation aimed at BBT practitioners and other recreational and leisure activities.

The promoter, through this tourist component, enhances the existing natural resources, without any effort/saturation of the same. Taking advantage of these resources and finding ways to explore them in a healthy and sustainable way, we can create conditions for Vouzela to be visited throughout the year.

​

The purpose of this operation is as follows:

- Boost nature tourism, which has been growing in the region, namely through mountain biking;

​

- Offer a complementary short-term accommodation service, aimed at nature and sports tourism;

- Increase the number of overnight stays by visitors, in order to prolong the average length of stay in inland regions;

- Promotion of mountain biking, and nature sport activities, for national and international tourists, with a focus on Spanish and Belgian tourists.
