Funchal Celebrates Successful Conclusion of 5th '+ Comércio Local' Edition

On June 29, 2026, the Funchal City Council celebrated the conclusion of the 5th edition of the '+ Comércio Local' initiative. The event took place in the Municipal Assembly Hall and was attended by Councillor Paulo Lobo. The initiative, which aims to stimulate the local economy, concluded with the distribution of prizes from the third and final draw of the campaign.

This year's edition, organized in collaboration with the ACIF – Associação Comercial e Industrial do Funchal, was particularly notable for its transition to a more modern and inclusive format. The '+ Comércio Local' initiative has consistently played a vital role in promoting local businesses and encouraging consumer spending within the region.

The campaign's success underscores the importance of supporting neighborhood economies, especially in tourist-heavy regions like Madeira. By incentivizing local shopping, the initiative not only supports small businesses but also enhances the overall economic resilience of the community.

The '+ Comércio Local' initiative has been an essential tool for boosting local trade, offering businesses increased visibility and connecting them with a broader customer base. The prize draws have been a significant attraction, encouraging participation and engagement from both residents and tourists.

Councillor Paulo Lobo emphasized the campaign's success, highlighting the collaborative effort between the city council and local businesses. He noted that the initiative's positive impact on the local economy is a testament to the community's resilience and adaptability.

As Madeira continues to be a popular destination for tourists, initiatives like '+ Comércio Local' are crucial in maintaining the balance between tourism and local community needs, ensuring that the benefits of tourism are widely shared.
