Resumo: Due to increased competition among tourist destinations many destinations become easily replaceable. Therefore, influencing the decision of tourists has been a great challenge for managers and marketeers. In this perspective, the image of tourist destinations plays an important role, as it influences the behavior of individuals and allows the destination to differentiate itself from other in the highly competitive tourist market. The present research analyses the projected image of Brazil based on the official website of the country (visitbrasil.com), in order to understand if it is consistent with the perceived image by the tourist intermediaries in Portugal. To determine the perceived image of Brazil, a questionnaire survey is used, whereas the projected image from the website is analysed using content analysis with the QSR NVivo10 software. It is found that Brazil intends to position itself as a tourist destination devoted to cultural tourism, while the Portuguese tourist intermediaries promote it as a destination mainly oriented to sun and sea tourism.

Assim sendo, influenciar a decisão dos turistas tem sido um grande desafio para gestores e marketeers. Nesta perspectiva, a imagem de destinos turísticos exerce uma importante função, pois influencia o comportamento dos indivíduos e permite que o destino se diferencie no mercado turístico altamente competitivo. A presente investigação tem como objetivo analisar a imagem projetada do destino turístico Brasil a partir do website oficial de promoção do país (visitbrasil.com), com o propósito de perceber se existe uma coerência entre a imagem projetada do país e a imagem percebida pelos intermediários do setor em Portugal. Para apurar a imagem percebida do destino turístico Brasil, recorreu-se ao inquérito por questionário, enquanto a imagem projetada a partir do website foi analisada por meio de análise de conteúdo, com recurso ao software QSR NVivo10. Constatou-se que o Brasil pretende se posicionar como um destino turístico vocacionado ao turismo cultural, enquanto que os intermediários turísticos portugueses o promovem como um destino majoritariamente voltado ao turismo de sol e praia.  Departamento de Economia, Gestão, Engenharia Industrial e Turismo da Universidade de Aveiro2017-01-01T00:00:00Zjournal articlejournal articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34624/rtd.v1i27/28.9017oai:proa.ua.pt:article/9017Journal of Tourism & Development; Vol 1 No 27/28 (2017); 883-897Revista Turismo & Desenvolvimento; vol. 1 n.º 27/28 (2017); 883-8972182-14531645-9261reponame: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/9017https://doi.org/10.34624/rtd.v1i27/28.9017https://proa.ua.pt/index.php/rtd/article/view/9017/6227https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilva, MarianaCosta, Rui2022-09-26T10:56:37Zoai:proa.ua.pt:article/9017Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:05:24.806646Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
