CEO at Travel4YourRoots.com

Luis Filipe Barbosa Campos

Luís Campos (Degree in Economics and MBA in Business Management), after a management career in banking and business consulting, 7 years ago he changed his life of comfort and security to follow a dream.
This dream led him to create the company Portgall and later Travel 4 Experiences, in order to be able to respond to a gap that he felt existed in the tourist offer. Working directly with municipalities and local communities, he was able to identify, develop, and offer a wide range of authentic and rewarding experiences existing in Portuguese territory. Based on this work, today it offers differentiated trips to Portugal based on experiences in which the traveler is received and guided by authentic local hosts.
A journey where the careful narrative, unique and immersive experiences, will lead you to emerge in Portuguese history, culture, and traditions, seeking to integrate activities in the context of nature and well-being.

Always committed to ensuring a safe trip, respecting and valuing local communities, and contributing to their economic, social and ecological sustainability.

Based on the experience and knowledge acquired on the Portuguese territory, he has been working in collaboration with several researchers of History and Archeology in the development of unique and exclusive itineraries focused on the history of Portugal. As a result of this joint work, a partnership project with researchers in the field of genealogy was created about three years ago, to create and implement a service called “Back to the Roots”. Starting from a rigorous genealogical investigation, it is intended to take the traveler to meet his history in Portugal. This project has an autonomous website called travel4yourroots.com.

Turismo de Portugal, IP granted this project the Declaration of Interest for Tourism, recognizing its merit and innovative character in 2013. This was also supported due to its merit by community funds managed at a national level (in 2013, within the scope of QREN, and in 2017, within the scope of Portugal 2020).

Since 2018, he was selected to participate, along with 5 other companies, in a European COSME project called Charm-Immersive experiences in charming European villages, whose idea is to create a European network of charming villages supported by an experiential offer that values these territories of excellence.
