Volkswagen's Autoeuropa plant in Portugal will resume limited production in early October, sooner than expected, after it was halted on Sept. 12 due to a shortage of auto parts, a letter to workers seen by Reuters said. Autoeuropa, which mainly produces the T-Roc compact crossover sports utility model, had previously announced a nine-week stoppage between Sept. 11 and Nov. 12, after its Slovenian supplier was affected by floods. The company told workers the plant "will resume production at the beginning of October", adding that existing sub-suppliers in the Volkswagen Group's portfolio, including a Chinese and a Spanish company, would make up for some of the regular supplies.
The number of foreign tourists visiting Portugal surpassed eight million in January-June, making it the best first half on record, official data showed on Monday. The National Statistics Institute said nearly 8.2 million foreigners stayed in Portuguese hotels in the period, up from 6.3 million a year ago and 7.4 million in the first six months of 2019, a record year for tourism before the COVID-19 pandemic crippled global travel in 2020. In June, the United States, which has significantly grown as a source of tourism to Portugal, represented the second-largest group of foreign visitors.
