Airports around Portugal, including those which act as gateways to villas in the Algarve, have witnessed a busy 2011.
This is according to statistics released by the Portuguese national Airport Management Company ANA, which revealed that travel hubs in the country have witnessed a 6.7 per cent boost in passenger numbers.
Between January and December 2011, 27.6 million people passed through one of ANA's airports – an increase of 1.8 million passengers when compared to 2010.
Furthermore, Portugal's flag-carrier TAP, Ryanair and easyjet – which make up around two-thirds of ANA airports' worldwide traffic – all witnessed boosts to their passenger numbers over the past 12 months.
When it comes to taking a holiday in Portugal, families have recently been urged by Daily Telegraph writer Gill Charlton to seek out stays in Algarve villas.
She explained: "The Algarve will always be the main attraction – it's still hard to beat for a family holiday, thanks to its safe sandy beaches and well-equipped modern villas with pools."
