Algarve’s sunny beaches and beautiful landscapes made this a pleasant event where innovative techniques along with new findings in the diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular disorders were discussed.

The 2011 World Muscle Society’s Annual International Congress, which included participants from over 25 countries, of every continent, was undoubtedly a success due greatly to the picturesque surroundings and high standards of service of the Ria Park Hotels.

Delegates enjoyed days of productive forums discussing pertinent topics, breathtaking views over the Ria Formosa Natural Park and social activities to experience both the local cuisine and customs. Some attendees took advantage of the weather to wander the nearby Ria Formosa Natural Reserve and photograph species of migrant birds.

When selecting the Ria Park Hotel & Spa and the Ria Park Garden Hotel for this 5 day event, the Portuguese Committee of the Society wish to show fellow members not only one of the most beautiful regions that Portugal has to offer, the Algarve, but a hotel that embodied the Portuguese’s hospitable nature. This contributed positively to Portugal´s promotion throughout the world as a popular holiday destination.

The Algarve region was once again honoured by the Irish, this year winning the Best Sun Destination award, on the 27th of January, at the 19th anual Irish travel Industry Awards, held at the Westin Hotel, in Dublin.
