Experiencing Interruptions?

Invested in Centro – Eight years supporting tourism entrepreneurship

Production related to the storytelling feature “Investi no Centro” (NAIT/TCP), where stories of tourism entrepreneurship in the Center Region of Portugal are told.
The initiative is part of the mission of the Núcleo de Apoio ao Investimento Turístico (NAIT) of Turismo Centro de Portugal (TCP), created in 2013 and whose purpose is to support and boost investment and entrepreneurship in the sector.
This video focuses on projects that were covered in those feature stories in the year 2020. A year of great challenges, great uncertainties and immeasurable apprehension. A year in which NAIT beat their record of attendance (2101, totaling 13,345 since 2013). And above all, a year of great resilience on the part of those who insist on following their dreams and moving forward, step by step, side by side with the life they dared to choose. A life that adds value to their territories, to their communities and local economies, to the memories of so many people, where so many experiences last forever.
This was a year of great sacrifices for entrepreneurs, who had to flexibilize so many goals and designs. We decided to do the same to the rules that establish the “ideal lengh” of multimedia content on social networks. We flexibilized it and gave the entrepreneurs more scenes. Time was stolen from them in 2020. We tried to give some back. Frame by frame, minute by minute, the 15 undertakings featured in this film represent something much bigger than themselves. They represent the entire entrepreneurial fabric of the Center Region. They represent all those who continue to move forward, step by step, side by side with the life they dared to choose.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the collaboration of all the enterprises that gave us their stories and experiences, as a stage for the beautiful moments that culminated in this production.
Let yourself be inspired by the entrepreneurial spirit and tourism potential of the Centro Region.
