Autenticidade e inovação: factores de renovação dos destinos turísticos maduros

Os destinos turísticos maduros caracterizam-se pela redução da sua capacidade para garantir satisfação aos consumidores, declínio das taxas de crescimento dos fluxos turísticos, degradação da imagem e perda de competitividade. Nesta fase necessitam de proceder à sua renovação ou rejuvenescimento através de novos factores de competitividade. Entre eles incluem-se a autenticidade transformada, em factor de atracção (push-factor), e a inovação. Neste trabalho identificam-se as várias correntes relativas à análise da autenticidade e as categorias de inovação no processo de renovação dos destinos, concluindo que ambas fazem parte de um processo contínuo que deve constituir uma centralidade das políticas turísticas.

Modelo de avaliação competitiva de destinos turísticos com base nas capacidades dinâmicas

Over the past few decades, the phenomenon of competitiveness, and the underlying competitive advantage thereof, has been analyzed in diverse ways, in terms of its sources (external and internal environment) and competitive management strategies, as well as different scopes (nations, economic sectors and organizations) and fields of study (economy and organizational theory). Moreover, competitiveness is a complex phenomenon and, thus, reflected in the many methods and approaches which some frameworks have developed throughout the period to try to examine it in the tourism sector as well as other industries. In this research a framework for destinations is presented on the basis of dynamic capabilities. This is an important contribution to the research, since previous studies for the tourism sector have not approached this relevant aspect of the competitive development of tourist destinations, i.e. based on the capabilities of innovation, transformation, creation and research presents a competitive evaluation of the dynamic capabilities of tourist destinations, on the basis of 79 activities, distributed in eight , this work presents an empirical application of the framework in a sample of twenty Brazilian cities, considered, by the Brazilian Tourism Minister, as indicative tourist destinations for regional development. The results obtained from this evaluation were submitted to tests of statistical reliability and have demonstrated that the destinations possess heterogeneous levels of capabilities between themselves (different levels developed in the categories between the cities) and inside each destination (developed levels of capability between the categories of the destination). In other words: heterogeneity is not only between category to category.

Competitividade de destinos turísticos: fatores de demanda e desempenho

Esta tese defende que os modelos de mensuração da competitividade de destinos turísticos estão estruturados essencialmente com base em fatores da oferta e foram concebidos fundamentalmente pelos estudiosos e profissionais do turismo. Assim, o objetivo foi traduzir a experiência do turista em termos de competitividade do destino. Ou seja, significa incorporar aos estudos sobre o tema o fator da demanda. Para alcançar esse propósito, discutiram-se as principais teorias que explicam o fenômeno da competitividade e os modelos utilizados para mensurar o fenômeno competitivo. Foram identificadas as abordagens principais, os elementos-chave que influenciam a competitividade e as lacunas teóricas dos modelos. Discutiu-se um método para captar a experiência turística em destinos que foi testado com diferentes tipos de turistas por meio de uma pesquisa qualitativa. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de conteúdo e à luz do modelo brasileiro de competitividade. Os resultados mostraram que a competitividade de destinos é analisada essencialmente por fatores de oferta e consegue captar apenas parcialmente a avaliação realizada pela demanda turística. Falta, portanto, incorporar o fator da demanda aos estudos de competitividade para proporcionar aos gestores do destino mais precisão e segurança nas suas ações.
