Moral norms are vital for comprehending responsible environmental behaviour. When individuals perceive that their actions are aligned with these norms, they often experience feelings of pride, fulfillment, and satisfaction. However, the literature has not yet explored the potential role of pro‐environmental personal norms (PEPN) in visitor satisfac...

A importância do comércio internacional para o crescimento económico é um tema que não suscita controvérsia no seio da Ciência Económica. As teorias tradicionais fornecem dados relevantes para compreender o fenómeno, mas não proporcionam uma visão completa dos padrões observados nas trocas entre países. Estudos recentes têm-se centrado em dois tipo...

The tourism industry has been increasingly viewed as an essential component of development processes, especially in certain low-density territories and islands. In turn, it is clear that residents play a fundamental role in the quality of tourists’ experiences and, consequently, for the success of a tourism destination. In this research, a cluster...

[Revista Vallis Longus (ISSN: 2975-979X)] Neste texto recuperam-se aqueles que são comummente assumidos como os fundamentos dos processos de regionalização.

There are many studies on the St. James Way, also known as the Camino de Santiago, but not enough attention has been paid to the pilgrims’ perceptions and motivations, particularly those who choose to do the Portuguese Way. Their motivations may be related to the landscape, the spiritual dimension, the search for well-being and self-therapy, or the...

Historically, Portuguese protected areas (PAs) have been operating under top-down governance, often neglecting local communities. In 2019, the Portuguese government established a new governance model for PAs, based on co-management. The new co-management approach emphasises collaborative and participatory governance and positions sustainable touris...

The Alvão Natural Park (PNAL) is the smallest natural park in Portugal. The PNAL is currently in the process of implementing its co-management model, abandoning the old centralized top-down model, and aiming for a more sustainable development of the protected area. Recognizing the key role of stakeholders in sustainable tourism development in prote...

Múltiplos estudos foram publicados nas últimas décadas sobre o Caminho de Santiago (um percurso milenar), vários dos quais sobre o Caminho Português de Santiago. Contudo, pouco se investigou sobre o seu potencial em matéria de ativação dos sentidos. O nosso texto centra-se na forma como o Caminho Português de Santiago pode impactar os cinco sentido...

Se a revolução ocorrida em Portugal a 25 de abril de 1974 foi, para quem a viveu, um processo único, que não esquecerá, fazia todo o sentido que, na comemoração dos 50 anos do evento, se voltasse às memórias de alguns que nela participaram ou foram dela testemunho. Mais: mantendo presente os objetivos que informaram o Movimento dos Capitães, também...

However, there is a substantial knowledge gap regarding the dynamic influences of motivation and perceived quality on these variables. To address this gap, this study examines the complex relationships between visitor motivations and the perceived quality...

O debate da Regionalização de Portugal voltou a emergir. Periodicamente, tem-se retomado a discussão do tema, se bem que sem consequências de maior. A exceção em matéria de alcance do debate que foi acontecendo foi a realização do referendo de 8 de novembro de 1998, cujo resultado significou a criação de um bloqueio substantivo à institucionalizaçã...

In applying the concept to one’s life, it means a commitment to achieving a balance between wellbeing of the body, mind, and spirit. This compels tourists to search for activities that may bring balance to their lives, or to travel with the purpose of self-...

The COVID-19 pandemic severally affected the economy of many countries and territories around the world, and the ones more dependent on the tourism industry have been the most hit.

The last time an editor-in-chief of ´Revista Portuguesa de Estudos Regionais` (Portuguese Revue of Regional Studies) wrote an editorial was for the 50th issue of the journal, which dates back to May 2019. Since then, the editors are committed to keep the journal alive, and position it within the regional science scientific community. Although the r...

O debate da Regionalização do país está aí, de novo. Por detrás desse retomar do debate estão a inclusão dessa problemática no Programa do XXIII Governo e as sequelas da implementação da Lei nº 50/2018. Anote-se que a entidade sobre a qual incide o essencial do processo de descentralização que se pretendeu concretizar ao abrigo da dita Lei é o Muni...

Desde a década de 1990 que tem sido significativa a aposta de inúmeras cidades, e, consequentemente, dos respetivos atores políticos, no acolhimento de grandes eventos. Nesse processo, as grandes cidades tomaram a liderança. Decorrente disso, este tipo de eventos vem constituindo uma importante temática da investigação realizada em turismo e em des...

Although the Galo de Barcelos (Barcelos rooster) has been used since many decades ago as a symbolic element of the Portuguese culture and as a tourist souvenir of Portugal, there are few studies that have focused on the impacts of tourism in the municipality where this icon was born.

It is still hard to reach a consensus on the concept of creative tourism even if it emerged in 2000, with Richards and Raymond, as a new segment of tourism that can offer tourists the opportunity of co-creating and developing their creative potential. One of its characteristics is that it is quite open and flexible regarding its adaptation to local...

Escrever sobre o legado de uma Capital Europeia da Cultura (CEC) tem revelado ser um exercício difícil. Talvez por isso se tenha discutido e escrito pouco sobre essa matéria, em Portugal.

Most of the strategies developed to “save” rural territories in Europe have not been successful. One of their main problems has been the adoption of the top-down paradigm when approaching the development of those territories. Portugal is a good example of the difficulty of adopting a bottom-up paradigm. The main objective of this paper is to presen...

To write about the legacy of a European Capital of Culture (ECOC) it is not easy due to the complexity of the mega-event. Maybe, that is the reason why, in Portugal, so little has been written on the issue. In a time crossing a deep globalization process and facing crises of various nature, competition among cities to capture international visitors...

A city's image can serve as the basis upon which to develop a strong sense of community. This, in turn, fosters trust and cooperation which may attract tourists and investment, and drive regional economic growth. One strategy to enhance a city's image is to host cultural mega-events. This study focuses on Guimarães, one of the European Capitals of...

Escrever sobre a experiência e legado de uma Capital Europeia da Cultura (CEC), cuja primeira edição remonta a 1985, não é um exercício fácil, em expressão da complexidade do megaevento.
