Resumo: | The main objective of this work is to study the impacts of second - home tourism on the Algarve region, Portugal. This study aims to analyze the social and economic impacts of second-homes, and characterize the main motivational factors that lead to the decision of choosing Algarve, Portugal, as the main destination for second-home tourism. This work employs a quantitative method to examine the impacts of the second - home tourism on the socioeconomical life of the Algarve region in Portugal. A survey was run to deductively explore tourists’ perceptions and experience owning a second-home in Algarve. The research instrument was developed based on the questionnaire by Wong et al. (2014) and Marjavaara (2007) and the literature review of the works on similar topics in different countries around the world. The study involved an online-survey. A total of 300 responses were collected and analyzed in the IBM SPSS Statistics program. The study showed that the second-home owners had a significant social impact on the Algarve, because the second-home tourists make friends with the local population, learn Portuguese and cause the local population to adapt to their needs, while adapting to Portuguese customs. The main economic impacts included the high activity in the recreational, hotel and the real estate sector caused by the second-home tourists. Main motivations for choosing Algarve as the second-home destination were the geographical proximity to the country of origin of second-home owners, mild climate, adapted infrastructure and wide usage of English. This study has been limited to only secondhome owners and did not include local residents, local and regional authorities, nongovernmental organizations, tourism companies, or local officials. In the next studies, it is important to identify perception of the local population regarding foreign ownership and to study the impact of second-home tourism from the perspective of residents. |

Em particular, este estudo tem como objetivo analisar os impactos sociais e económicos das residências secundárias, e caracterizar os principais fatores motivacionais que levaram à decisão de escolher o Algarve, Portugal, como principal destino do turismo residencial. Este trabalho utiliza um método quantitativo para examinar os impactos do turismo residencial na vida socioeconómica da região do Algarve em Portugal. Foi realizado um inquérito para explorar dedutivamente as perceções dos turistas e a experiência de possuir uma segunda casa no Algarve. O instrumento de pesquisa foi desenvolvido com base no questionário de Wong et al. (2014) e Marjavaara (2007) e na revisão da literatura de trabalhos sobre temas semelhantes em diferentes países de todo o mundo. O estudo envolveu uma pesquisa online. Um total de 300 respostas foram recolhidas e analisadas no programa IBM SPSS Statistics. O estudo mostrou que os proprietários de residências secundárias têm um impacto social significativo no Algarve, porque os turistas residenciais fazem amizade com a população local, aprendem o português e fazem com que a população local se adapte às suas necessidades, ao mesmo tempo que eles se adaptam aos costumes portugueses. Os principais impactos económicos incluem a alta atividade no setor recreativo e hoteleiro e imobiliário causada pelos turistas residenciais. As principais motivações para a escolha do Algarve como destino de segunda habitação residem na proximidade geográfica com o país de origem dos proprietários de segunda habitação, clima ameno, infraestruturas adaptadas e uso generalizado do inglês. Este estudo foi limitado apenas a proprietários de residências secundárias e não incluiu residentes locais, autoridades locais e regionais, organizações não governamentais, empresas de turismo ou funcionários locais. Nos próximos estudos, é importante identificar a perceção da população local em relação à propriedade estrangeira e estudar os impactos do turismo residencial sob a perspetiva dos residentes.Pereira, Luís NobreSapientiaVartanova, Daria2022-10-25T14:17:05Z2021-12-212021-12-21T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.1/18427TID:202913546enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-24T10:30:40Zoai:sapientia.ualg.pt:10400.1/18427Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T20:08:11.919565Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
