The Map That Connects

One discarded frame. Eight Algarve destinations. Endless opportunities to discover. Follow a simple frame on its journey across the Algarve and discover how Plotbiz connects printed maps, QR codes and digital experiences to help tourists explore local businesses, attractions and hidden gems.

Description

Sometimes, something that seems to have reached the end of its journey is just waiting for a new beginning.

This Plotbiz story started with an empty white frame.

The frame came from Richard at Riana, a frame shop in Quarteira. It was about to be thrown away, but instead, we saved it and gave it a new purpose.

We took it on a journey across the Algarve.

From busy coastal destinations to traditional towns, each location has its own character, atmosphere and local stories waiting to be discovered.

But the frame represents something bigger.

Connection.

At Plotbiz, we're developing a network of printed and digital maps designed to help tourists explore the Algarve simply and confidently.

Each map introduces visitors to local restaurants, attractions, shops, services and experiences that make every destination special.

And the journey doesn't stop with the printed map.

Through QR codes, visitors can connect to Plotbiz online, explore additional information and continue discovering neighbouring destinations and businesses.

One map leads to another.

One location connects to the next.

And every connection creates another opportunity for a local business to be discovered.

Our connected Algarve map network includes:

Portimão

Lagoa

Albufeira

Vilamoura

Quarteira

Almancil

Loulé City

Faro City

By combining physical maps with digital connections, we're creating a practical discovery system that works both offline and online.

Tourists can enjoy exploring new places, while local businesses gain opportunities to be seen by people already visiting the region.

And just like the empty frame, sometimes all it takes is a different perspective to discover something valuable.

One frame. Eight destinations. A connected Algarve.

Because this is more than a map.

It's a connected local discovery system — offline and online.
