The Vila Galé group closed 2025 with a 15% increase in revenue compared to the previous year, with a total balance of 321 million euros, including the 52 hotels in the chain. Growth assessed as positive despite continuing “to not have the privilege of having an airport in good condition or an interim solution”, stated the chairman of the company’s board of directors, Jorge Rebelo de Almeida, during the presentation of the results, this Tuesday, January 3, in a meeting with journalists.
The businessman called for an alternative to Lisbon airport and criticized the new infrastructure project in Alcochete. “We don’t even have very accurate information on the state of development of this airport, which is extremely important for the country”, he declared.
For the CEO, Gonçalo Rebelo de Almeida, while “Portugal has a stable tourist situation”, but with Lisbon showing “signs” of some “stagnation”, the growth of the Brazilian market stood out, which, for the first time, was ahead of the Iberian market. While the turnover of units in Portugal and Spain increased by 8% in 2025 compared to 2024, in Brazil growth was 23% in the same period last year.
“In the case of Brazil, there is 23% growth in revenue, but there is 12% growth in operating rates. Therefore, Brazil grew in the two main indicators, Portugal grew in the revenue indicator”, stated the CEO.
With 34 projects in Portugal, 13 in Brazil, four in Cuba and one in Spain, the group currently has 12 projects in progress (six in Portugal and six in Brazil), investments totaling 210 million euros to be completed by 2028.
