The Estoril Coast extends from the Atlantic
Ocean and the Tagus river estuary in the south
and west up to the northern boundary of the
parish of Cascais. It is close to the most
westerly point in Europe.
The area is near Lisbon and is served both by
Lisbon’s international airport and by the
Municipal Aerodrome of Cascais at Tires. Road
and rail networks are excellent.
The most westerly point in Europe lies within
the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park which has a
tremendous variety of landscapes and
atmospheres.
Near Estoril, the majestic Sintra Mountains cast
a veil of mystery over the town nestling on its
northern slopes. The hills and the surrounding
area have been classified by UNESCO as a
World Heritage site both for their cultural
significance and for their outstanding natural
beauty.
The Escola Superior de Hotelaria e Turismo do Estoril (ESHTE) – Estoril
Higher Institute for Tourism and Hotel Studies – was founded in 1991 by the
Law-decree 374/91, dated from 8th October. It is a state polytechnical
school tutored by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher
Education.
ESHTE aims at preparing high skilled employees in the areas of tourism,
hotels and restaurants. It offers five degrees, according to the Bologna
Declaration criteria: Hotel Management, Tourism Management, Tourism
Information, Cookery and Food Production and Leisure Management and
Tourism Entertainment.
ESHTE is hence a higher education institution of cultural and technical
training, whose purpose is that of preparing skilled professionals, who are
able to cope with all challenges facing the tourism sector, in its
entrepreneurial and institutional areas.
