This study examines the Tourism Planning Plan of the Autonomous Region of the Azores (POTRAA), the new air transport model and several statistics related to air transport and tourism dynamics before and after the liberalisation, which took place in 2015. Time series analyses were used, and the period under analysis was defined (2013–2022). The results show that the entry of low-cost carriers (LCCs) resulted in flag carriers having to change to keep being competitive. Furthermore, a more extensive exposure of the destination through the LCCs created opportunities for all airlines. The results directly related to tourism include tourist numbers increasing in inter-island, national, and international flights, new routes opening to Europe and the USA, higher accommodation occupancy, and market diversification.

Este artículo enfatiza la importancia de una estrategia de previsión territorial y de la creación de escenarios en la planificación y gestión de destinos turísticos, demostrando cómo es metodológicamente posible combinar la técnica Delphi con un ejercicio de creación de escenarios. Los hallazgos sugieren que el conocimiento de las partes interesadas puede beneficiar la planificación y la gestión de los destinos turísticos. Futures analyses and scenario-building exercises have received scant attention from scientific literature on the planning and management of tourist destinations. This article emphasizes the importance of a territorial foresight strategy and scenario building in the planning and management of tourist destinations, demonstrating how it is methodologically possible to combine the Delph...

Water, particularly when it is clear and cool, is essential for exploiting leisure and tourism services the world over: "water resources, both linear and enclosed, are a vital ingredient of the countryside scene, whether for purely visual pleasure or for the direct support of recreational activities" (Glyptis, 1991: 8). Water does indeed have a great fascination for a large number of people; it is even the main motivation for choosing a destination, and marine, river and lake environments are equally important. It is no accident that water has been called "the sparkle in the jewel of landscape" (Patmore, 1983: 205). A range of tourist products have been built up around water: river tourism, nautical tourism, sun and sea, spas, health and wellbeing, active leisure and adventure tourism. The National Strategic Plan for Tourism (PE...

Realça a importância do rio como atração turística e como património. A conceptualização do turismo fluvial é um dos seus contributos. Esta centra-se no stricto sensu do turismo fluvial, evidencia a sua amplitude, a sua acentuada ancoragem territorial e sua importância para o desenvolvimento local e regional. A análise retrospetiva da valorização dos rios em Portugal releva as potencialidades do território nacional e o caráter relativamente recente e pontual dos investimentos para valorizar as águas interiores para os lazeres e para o turismo. O rio Douro é um caso paradigmático do turismo fluvial em Portugal. Os dados evidenciam um crescimento muito acentuado dos passageiros na via navegável do Douro a partir de 2011, explicado, fundamentalmente, pelo aumento de passageiros que realizam um cruzeiro fluvial na mesma albufeira; uma importância desigual de pass...

The tourist destination, which comprises the mainland territory and two archipelagos, enjoyed unprecedented, sustained growth in tourist activity in 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic has had serious repercussions on the national tourism system, although government measures have been implemented to mitigate the impacts. The results for tourist accommodation show that after the first phase of the pandemic there was a slight recovery of some tourism activity indicators, mainly in more consolidated destinations: Algarve and Madeira. The low-density territories with peri-urban and rural features, very much leaning towards nature tourism (Alentejo and Central Portugal) suffered a less severe impact on tourism demand, and domestic tourism was able to mitigate some negative effects. The data is organized using year-on-year variation, considering the years 2019 and 2020. The conclusions seek to make proposals for the recovery of post-COVID-19 tourism and define some of the ways forward.

This article emphasizes the importance of a territorial foresight strategy and scenario building in the planning and management of tourist destinations, demonstrating how it is methodologically possible to combine the Delphi technique with a scenario-building exercise. The findings suggest that the knowledge provided by stakeholders operating within the tourism system can benefit the planning and management of tourist destinations.

Although nature tourism is the main tourist product, other products have been determined to complement the territory's characteristics. Among them is nautical tourism, specifically yacht tourism. This tourism segment generates multiple economic opportunities, directly and indirectly. In the Azores, development of nautical tourism centered on the expansion and construction of marinas, providing seven of the nine islands with at least one such structure. Construction of the new marinas did not decrease the number of yachts and crew using the old ones. In fact, these numbers increased in practically all marinas and islands. Most yachtsmen are European, and an average of almost four people per yacht visit the Azores between April and October.

This chapter presents a study that gives meaning to key cultural elements in Portuguese sun-and-sea destinations, integrating their heritage value and intangible cultural significance. Authors show how two large groups of heritage elements associated with the sea can be integrated into forms of visitation and leisure (lighthouses, forts and coastal garrisons). These heritage elements increasingly integrate tourism, diversifying and valuing it. Adding to these elements of material heritage, it is also important to refer to elements of intangible expression that are a reference for the life of the populations connected to the sea. Particular attention will be paid to the Xávega Art, and to the Rendas de Bilros handicraft, considering their inventory and safeguard.

In the field of tourism, these technological developments have given rise to the emergence of new concepts: smart tourism, smart destinations, smart experiences, and smart heritage. These concepts and their implications for the success of tourist activities are discussed first, and then the focus of analysis is shifted to the local tourism resources and characteristics. The case study focuses on the municipality of São Pedro do Sul, an area located in the Viseu Dão Lafões subregion, within the Central Region of Portugal. Several low-cost digital strategies are proposed to enrich tourism activities based on endogenous cultural and natural resources and empower route tourism as a relevant strategy for diversifying tourism and support the sustainable development of local communities based on...
