Resumo: With the tourism sector playing an extremely relevant role as a tool for competitiveness and a driver of regional development and with tourist destinations facing increasing numbers of events beyond their control and potentially compromising their competitive and comparative advantages, it thus becomes pertinent to examine the ways in which the forest and rural fires of 2017 impacted on the competitiveness of the Centro Tourism Region. To this end, we applied a quantitative methodology with secondary data that enabled us to ascertain the burned area in each council, the influence on tourist numbers in the region during and after the natural disaster as well as any losses in regional competitiveness. The conclusions returned enabled the affirmation of this region’s strong comparative and competitive advantages that ensured the minimisation of the risk of losing tourism sector competitiveness.

Para tal, foi utilizada uma metodologia quantitativa com dados secundários que nos permitiram averiguar a área ardida por concelho, a sua influência na afluênciaturística da região durante e após o desastre natural, bem como o grau de perda de competitividade doterritório. As conclusões encontradas permitem-nos afirmar que o facto de a região possuir fortes vantagens comparativas e competitivas, fez com que fosse minimizado o risco de perda de competitividade doterritório.Departamento de Economia, Gestão, Engenharia Industrial e Turismo da Universidade de Aveiro2020-01-01T00:00:00Zjournal articlejournal articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34624/rtd.v0i33.20408oai:proa.ua.pt:article/20408Journal of Tourism & Development; No 33 (2020); 77-99Revista Turismo & Desenvolvimento; n.º 33 (2020); 77-992182-14531645-9261reponame: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/20408https://doi.org/10.34624/rtd.v0i33.20408https://proa.ua.pt/index.php/rtd/article/view/20408/14786https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessEstevão, CristinaCosta, CarlosNunes, SaraPeraboa, Francisco2022-09-26T10:57:32Zoai:proa.ua.pt:article/20408Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:06:10.956224Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
