Lusanova

What It Is

Lusanova is a Portuguese travel group with over 65 years of operation, encompassing four distinct business areas: Lusanova Tours (tour operator), Lusanova Travel (retail travel agency), Lusanova DMC (incoming destination management), and Lusanova Brazil (South American operations). The group is headquartered in Lisbon with offices in Porto and three locations across Brazil.

Who It Serves and How Properties Connect

Lusanova distributes hotel reservations and travel packages to individual and group travellers from Portugal and Brazil. As a tour operator, it contracts accommodation directly with hotels and resorts for inclusion in its package programmes, covering both individual itineraries and group circuits. Hotels in key European and international destinations can seek partnerships through Lusanova's contracting process to access the Portuguese and Brazilian outbound leisure market.

Specialty and Reach

Lusanova is an IATA and APAVT member, adding credibility and distribution reach through the global travel agency network. Its DMC arm handles incoming travel to Portugal, making it a two-way channel: useful for hotels in Portugal receiving international guests, and for international hotels targeting the Lusophone outbound market from Portugal and Brazil. The group holds the PME Líder distinction recognising superior business performance among Portuguese SMEs.
