The Federação de Campismo e Montanhismo de Portugal ( FCMP ) is the umbrella organization for camping , hiking and mountaineering in Portugal .
history
The first unequivocal document on camping and hiking in Portugal is a letter from the writer Eça de Queiroz from 1875, in which he confirmed to his poet friend Ramalho Ortigão from Newcastle , UK , that he had dispatched the extensive hiking and camping equipment he had ordered.
In 1908 the Jornada Inaugural do Campismo Português took place in the Gerês Mountains (in Chã das Abrótegas) (English: the kick-off event for the camping movement in Portugal). The occasion was the support of an initiative of the Ilustração Portuguesa de Lisboa , which found on the spot that the local goat species Cabra Geresiana was actually extinct. In 1932 the Grupo Excursionista Ar Livre (GEAL, German: group of outdoor excursionists) was founded in Porto . This was followed by the founding of other associations in the country dedicated to camping trips, mountain hikes and similar hiking events. From 1936 the ethnographer Elmano da Cunha e Costa drove through the Portuguese colony of Angola and covered 280,000 kilometers with his caravan to visit 58 tribes. In 1937 the first nationwide association was founded with the Clube Português de Campismo or Camping Clube de Portugal , a forerunner of the association, which however quickly disbanded. In 1940, the 1st Congresso Português de Campismo Desportivo was the first congress on camping in the country. In 1941 the Clube Nacional de Campismo was founded, the first national association for camping sports.
In 1944 the Ministério da Educação Nacional , the education ministry of the semi- fascist Estado Novo regime, published the guidelines for camping, which has now been officially recognized as an official category B sport.
On March 3, 1945, the statutes of the newly founded Federação Portuguesa de Campismo were recognized by the state. It emerged as the successor to the now dissolved Clube Nacional de Campismo , as part of the unification of the country's national sports associations. In 1949 the association became a member of the international camping umbrella organization Fédération Internationale de Camping et de Caravanning (FICC). In 1967 the association changed its name to Federação Portuguesa de Campismo e Caravanismo . After its reorientation after the Carnation Revolution in 1974, the association's non-profit status was recognized in 1978. The association moved to its permanent headquarters in 1983 on Avenida 5 de Outubro in Lisbon , after having previously resided in different buildings.
In 1991 the association was responsible for Montanhismo , the Portuguese variant of alpinism . In 1995 the association celebrated its 50th birthday a. a. with a major FICC rally in Aljezur , and he moved to his new administrative headquarters on Avenida Coronel Eduardo Galhardo . In 1997 the association reintroduced its founding name ( Federação Portuguesa de Campismo ) and received recognition as a non-profit sports organization ( Utilidade Pública Desportiva ), a newly introduced tax status. Since 2003 the association has been called Federação de Campismo e Montanhismo de Portugal .

Finances
In its annual report, the FCMP described 2014 as an extremely difficult year in financial terms. The total expenditure of 1,523,379.21 euros was offset by income of 1,346,446.86 euros, resulting in a deficit of 176,932.35 euros.
The two main reasons for this are the reduced government grants and the difficult income situation from membership fees and other income, both of which are related to the ongoing austerity policy of the government and the tense economic situation in the country as a result of the financial crisis from 2007 .
