The reflection on Nature Tourism, in general, and on Walking Tourism, in particular, must be transversal to the different axes of its operation, both in terms of infrastructure and promotion and marketing.

The TransAlentejo Festival is the perfect time to bring together the various institutions in four Tourism Seminars:

- Public Tourism Entities - National, Regional and Local
- Educational Establishments and Researchers
- Tourism Entrepreneurs
- Social communication specialized in tourism
- Municipal tourism technicians
- Local association leaders
- Local development enablers
- International Guests of Pedestrian Tours






Here is the planned and proposed program that will be updated according to the confirmations of the different guests.
