Resumo: | Although recognized as potentially beneficial for the sustainable development of territories, wine tourism can also cause negative environmental impacts, such as the excessive exploitation of water resources. These impacts may be related to the activities and services offered to wine tourists. It is therefore relevant to reflect on the moments of water wastage and the sustainability practices in terms of water conservation that have been used to mitigate this problem by the wine tourism supply agents. For this purpose, the study uses qualitative data collection (interview with owner-managers of wine companies that offer wine tourism experiences in Portugal). From the results it appears that several activities and services are provided in these companies. Costs and waste of water are mainly associated with washing utensils used in wine tasting, as well as cleaning and using support infrastructure. Water conservation practices are mainly low cost and are mainly focused on mitigating water waste and reducing consumption [example: double flush systems (flush flush) and faucets with timers]. This is a pioneering work as it seeks to identify gaps in spending and water conservation practices in wine tourism in Portugal and outlines paths for future research. |

Water conservation practices in Portugal's wine tourism companiesPráticas de conservação da água nas empresas de enoturismo em PortugalAlthough recognized as potentially beneficial for the sustainable development of territories, wine tourism can also cause negative environmental impacts, such as the excessive exploitation of water resources.

Estes impactos podem estar relacionados com as atividades e serviços oferecidos aos enoturistas. É assim relevante refletir sobre os momentos de desperdício de água e as práticas de sustentabilidade a nível de conservação da água que têm sido utilizadas para mitigar este problema, por parte dos agentes da oferta de enoturismo. Para tal, o estudo utiliza a recolha de dados qualitativos (entrevista a proprietários-gestores de empresas vitícolas que oferecem experiências de enoturismo em Portugal). Dos resultados constata-se que várias atividades e serviços são prestados nestas empresas. Os gastos e desperdícios de água estão associados sobretudo à lavagem de utensílios utilizados nas provas, bem como à limpeza e utilização das infraestruturas de apoio. As práticas de conservação da água são sobretudo de custo baixo e estão centradas principalmente na mitigação do desperdício e redução do seu consumo [exemplo: sistemas de descarga dupla (autoclismo) e torneiras com temporizador]. Trata-se de um trabalho pioneiro pois procura identicar as lacunas sobre os gastos e práticas de conservação da água no enoturismo em Portugal e traça caminhos para futuras pesquisas.Departamento de Economia, Gestão, Engenharia Industrial e Turismo da Universidade de Aveiro2023-07-27info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34624/rtd.v43i0.33004https://doi.org/10.34624/rtd.v43i0.33004Journal of Tourism & Development; Vol 43 (2023); 119-132Revista Turismo & Desenvolvimento; vol. 43 (2023); 119-1322182-14531645-9261reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPenghttps://proa.ua.pt/index.php/rtd/article/view/33004https://proa.ua.pt/index.php/rtd/article/view/33004/22663Direitos de Autor (c) 2023 Revista Turismo & Desenvolvimentoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAraújo, CristinaKastenholz, ElisabethSantos, Isabel2023-08-03T11:33:20Zoai:proa.ua.pt:article/33004Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T20:26:11.685874Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
