Le pouvoir royal et les villes portugaises

Pendant le Moyen Âge, le Portugal est apparu comme un espace périphérique indissociable de la Chrétienté européenne, dont la diversité naturelle avait établi un contraste entre le nord, ouvert aux influences atlantiques, et le sud, proche de la Méditerranée. Ce clivage valait aussi pour la réeeptivité aux influenees culturelles léguées par le passé, en particulier romaine et islamique, dont I'héritage était plus sensible dans les zones situées au sud du Tage, ce dont témoignait notamment une plus forte densité urbaine. Cependant, le territoire portugais s'insérait encore dans une Péninsule Ibérique marquée par des siècles deprésenee musulmane et par une longue période de conflits militaires liés au mouvement de eonquête territoriale ehrétienne. On peut dire que I'émergenee politique du royaume portugais, presque à la fin de la premiére moitié du XIIe siècle (1143), résulte en grande partie de cette situation, sans aueun doute déterrninante pour la constitution de cette mosaique d'entités politiques, earactéristique de la Péninsule Ibérique au Moyen Âge. Mais on peut dire que I'autonomie portugaise et surtout son affirmation territoriale doit être assoeiée a un proeessus d'affirmation en faisant face aux unités politiques voisines ça veut dire les royaumes de León et Castille.

Hotel industry: An answer to the emerging trends on the global demand side of tourism

This dissertation studies essentially how Millennials are changing the hotel industry, in the sense that new trends are emerging with this generation and hotels need to respond accordingly, in order to survive within their competitive industry. Emphasis is also given to Asian travellers, as the enlargement of these countries’ middle class populations is predicted, therefore making Asian travellers a valuable target for the hotel industry. To successfully target this segment, hoteliers need also to consider the cultural differences and aspirations that come together with the Asian travellers, and appropriately adapt their offer to them. I will then redirect this study to the city of Lisbon, the Portuguese capital, to analyse if Lisbon’s four and five-star hotel managers are aware of the new market trends, and to understand how they are changing their hotels in order to make them more attractive to Millennials and Asian travellers. Using a sample of 12 hotels (four and five-stars ratings), I have concluded that, although there is a notable undergoing process of adaptation to these guests, there is a long way ahead in order for Lisbon’s hotels to entirely please and retain millennial guests.
