I have just returned from a short break in Portugal's Algarve, the usual fine weather,food and hospitable people.
I was struck by the planning madness or lack of it, that saw The Algarve host, on one weekend, the WRC Rally Of Portugal, the UIM F1 World Championship GP Of Portugal,a leg of the International Triathlon Series and an International Show Jumping Event.
Add to this The Portuguese Open Golf being played in Estoril in Lisbon and one had to question the co-ordination and planning that saw all the events converge.
Events that extend a tourist season and that avoid the busy summer season when hotels are full and selling at near rack rate makes perfect sense , but to have them all in one weekend, closely followed by the A1 GP the weekend after?
I'm not sure there are enough locals or tourists to go around...and the media can only cover so many events.
A little co-ordination would spread the load and the benefits
