Este artigo tem por objetivo compreender os parâmetros dos novos mochileiros, através de uma revisão de literatura baseada em marcos históricos do turismo e do arcabouço acadêmico sobre o tema. Os resultados foram analisados através do método da análise de conteúdo e os resultados apontam para um demanda multifacetada de mochileiros que não limita-se apenas à idade e ao orçamento. Os novos mochileiros: seguem novos conceitos de juventude (e podem ter idade entre os 20 e 40 anos ou mais), consideram viajar como parte de seu estilo de vida, utilizam as novas tecnologias como mediadoras da viagem, e buscam por experiências signicativas para suas vidas.DEGEIT - Universidade de Aveiro2023-07-17T14:28:37Z2018-01-01T00:00:00Z2018-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10773/38729eng10.34624/rtd.v0i29.880Veríssimo, MedéiaCosta, Carlosinfo: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:RCAAP2024-05-06T04:48:09Zoai:ria.ua.pt:10773/38729Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openairemluisa.alvim@gmail.comopendoar:71602024-05-06T04:48:09Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
