The President of the Legislative Assembly of the Autonomous Region of the Azores (ALRAA), Luís Garcia, recognized “the commitment of local agents to the development of Flores” and praised that “their work, commitment, and dedication are essential for the growth of the community and for improving the quality of life on the island.”
“Throughout the island, there are examples of initiatives and investments that show how tourism has transformed this island and benefited its inhabitants,” said the President of the Assembly during a visit to the ‘Aldeia da Cuada’ rural tourism accommodation in Flores, as part of the first meeting of the ‘Azores with a Future – Young People who Inspire’ itinerary.
During the visit, the President of the Azorean Parliament acknowledged that “the unique beauty of Flores, combined with the authenticity of its people and the quality of its services, attracts more and more visitors,” praising the various investments that are appearing on the island which, in his opinion, “has consolidated itself as a tourist destination of excellence.”
“I’m very pleased to see that here, as on the other islands of our region, the potential of tourism is being harnessed to create new business opportunities and strengthen the local economy,” said the President of the Assembly.


During his visit to the island of Flores, the President of the Legislative Assembly visited the future “Casas da Cambada” guest house in Fajã Grande, another investment which, like Aldeia da Cuada, reflects “the commitment to environmental sustainability and the enhancement of the region’s natural and cultural heritage.”
The visits to the “Casas da Cambada” and “Aldeia da Cuada” tourist accommodations are part of the program for the first meeting of the “Azores with a Future—Young People who Inspire” itinerary, which took place at the Flores Primary and Secondary School.
It should be remembered that this initiative fulfills President Luís Garcia’s institutional purpose of bringing the Azorean Parliament closer to all the islands, establishing direct contact with its citizens and institutions.
