Following the rise and collapse of the canning business in the 1950s and 1970s, Portimão developed a tourist hub model similar to the rest of the Algarve, with a diverse range of hotels, restaurants, and local shops.

It has become a popular vacation spot, owing to the well-known Rocha Beach, and is also regarded as a city with a lot of promise for fans of large game fishing (e.g. swordfish), as well as other water sports like jet skiing, sailing, windsurfing, diving, and deep-sea fishing.

Portimão is the 2nd most important city in the Algarve, right after Faro.
