Tourism holds a significantly greater weight in Madeira's economy compared to the European Union average. The region registers 38.6 overnight stays per inhabitant, a figure that exceeds the EU average (6.7) by more than five times.
The concentration of tourists per square kilometer on the island is also notably higher, surpassing the European average by over 16 times. These figures indicate that few European territories manage to concentrate such a high volume of visitors in such a small area.
Additionally, the print edition of DIÁRIO highlights other relevant news, such as Quinta do Barbusano, which has turned wine into a tourist experience and plans expansion to Porto Santo. A National Geographic explorer praises Madeira's ocean, advocating for science-based marine protection, and justice recognizes a mother to a woman at 64 years old.
