Lisbon Travel Massive
[PT]
Lisboa é um dos melhores destinos turísticos da Europa e do Mundo e os vários prémios que já recebeu confirmam-no. A cidade das sete colinas é cobiçada pela boa comida, pelo clima fantástico e, sobretudo, pelas pessoas. Acreditamos veementemente que é de pessoas e para pessoas que se faz o turismo em Lisboa, por isso fazia sentido que a comunidade Travel Massive se estendesse à capital portuguesa.
Somos uma comunidade local de profissionais de turismo, bloggers de viagens, startups e outras empresas ligadas ao turismo e às viagens. Dela fazem parte Lisboetas de raíz, de coração, por adopção ou de passagem. Acreditamos que só com uma comunidade forte se pode melhorar o mundo. E por falar em mundo, o nosso Chapter faz parte de uma comunidade internacional com mais de 80.000 membros espalhados por mais de 50 países.

Lisbon is one of the best tourism destinations in Europe and the world. The several awards the city has won are a testimony of that. The city of seven hills is coveted for great food, great weather, and, above all, for the great people. We strongly believe that tourism in Lisbon is made by people and for people, so it made sense that the Travel Massive community would grow to include the Portuguese capital.
We are a local community of tourism professionals, travel bloggers, startups, and others working in the travel industry. The chapter includes “Lisboetas” by birth, at heart, or by choice. We believe only an active, cohesive community has the power to change the world for the better. And speaking of the world, our Chapter is part of an international community with over 80,000 members in over 50 countries (and growing).

Hey Travel Massive Lisbon! 👋
I'm Tiago, and after 10+ years living and working abroad, I've returned to Lisbon — and ready to help build something here.
My whole career has been in travel. I spent over a decade with the Amadeus group, working in Travel Tech across the Advertising & Marketing space, with stops in Nice, Berlin, and Bangkok. It was an incredible ride, but happy to return to Lisbon in 2021. Over these past years something became clear pretty quickly: we're missing a real community here, around Travel People, something incredible in a country where Tourism is such an important thing!
A space where travel people — whether you're in tech, hospitality, tours, content creation, media, or anything in between — can meet, exchange ideas, do business, and have a good time doing it.
I've been to plenty of Travel Massive events over the years, and what always struck me was how much energy there is in a room full of people who genuinely love this industry. That's exactly what I want to bring to Lisbon. So I took the initiative to reopen the Lisbon chapter, and here we are.
The plan? Build a regular (but not exhaustive!) rhythm of meetups in great spots around the city, and anchor some of our bigger events around the major moments on Lisbon's calendar — BTL, World Aviation Forum, and Web Summit. There's no shortage of travel and tech talent passing through this city — let's make the most of it.
A few things I'd love from you:
📍 Based in Lisbon? Make sure your Travel Massive profile reflects that — it helps us build the right community here
🤝 Know someone in Lisbon working in travel? Invite them to join — the more the merrier
🌍 Your chapter lives elsewhere? No pressure to leave (we love having you!), but if Lisbon is home now, it might be a good moment to update your chapter
💬 Most importantly — introduce yourself! Drop a comment below: who you are, what you do, and what brings you to travel. Let's bring some life into this community
More details on upcoming events coming soon. Stay tuned — and welcome to Travel Massive Lisbon! 🇵🇹✈️
