Resumo: | The Web Summit, founded in 2009, began as 400-person a technology conference with the aim of joining together tech-enthusiasts and businesses in a community that would allow for greater networking and spreading of ideas, projects and even relationships. Today, it has an attendance rate of around 60,000 people and is considered to be the epitome of technology conferences, joining together the most iconic and revolutionary speakers in an environment where communication and bonding is key. In 2016, Web Summit moved deeper into European territory and is now located in Lisbon, Portugal, bringing with it large volumes of attendees. What this thesis aims to identify are the internal pressures that a hallmark event such as the Web Summit has on the local community, using benchmarks of the local event paradigm for a better understanding of the event’s specificities, and how the event and governmental entities are combating these. These hallmark events are classified through their large attendance volumes that have the power to both benefit and disrupt the local community. Therefore, an in-depth analysis on attendee expenditure into the community in the form of recreational activity will be put forth in order to understand what the event is offering in term of tourism add-on. The conclusions aim to understand if in fact the Web Summit does provide this touristic addon and to what extent the Web Summit is enhancing or damaging the local community with its presence. |

Lisbon’s Web Summit : an event and tourism impact studyDomínio/Área Científica::Ciências Sociais::Economia e GestãoThe Web Summit, founded in 2009, began as 400-person a technology conference with the aim of joining together tech-enthusiasts and businesses in a community that would allow for greater networking and spreading of ideas, projects and even relationships. Today, it has an attendance rate of around 60,000 people and is considered to be the epitome of technology conferences, joining together the most iconic and revolutionary speakers in an environment where communication and bonding is key.

The conclusions aim to understand if in fact the Web Summit does provide this touristic addon and to what extent the Web Summit is enhancing or damaging the local community with its presence.O Web Summit, fundado em 2009, começou como uma conferência de tecnologia para cerca de 400 pessoas que tinha o objetivo de reunir empresas e amantes de temas relacionados com tecnologia numa comunidade que permitisse incentivar o networking e transmitir ideias, projetos e, até, criar relacionamentos. Atualmente, esta conferência, considerada o protótipo das conferências tecnológicas, conta com uma assistência média de cerca de 60 mil pessoas e reúne os mais icónicos e revolucionários oradores num ambiente em que a comunicação e as ligações entre os participantes são peças chave. Em 2016 o Web Summit deslocou-se para Lisboa trazendo consigo o, já referido, significativo número de participantes. Esta dissertação pretende identificar as pressões internas influenciadas por um evento desta dimensão na comunidade local, utilizando-se de comparações com eventos locais paradigmáticos para melhor perceber as especificidades deste evento, assim como perceber como é que as Entidades governativas combatem estas mesmas especificidades. Eventos distintivos como o estudado nesta tese são classificados através do seu elevado nível de assistência que, por sua vez, tem o poder de não só beneficiar como influenciar a comunidade local. Assim sendo, por forma a compreender melhor o que é que um evento desta envergadura acrescenta a nível de turismo ao seu país anfitrião, será levada a cabo uma análise profunda aos gastos dos participantes do Web Summit em atividades de lazer durante a sua estadia. Em suma, este estudo pretende tirar conclusões sobre o valor acrescentado pelo Web Summit no sector do Turismo, assim como em que ponto é que este evento beneficia ou prejudica a comunidade local.Lino, Rute Sofia Barbosa XavierVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaPatrício, João Tiago Dias2018-07-31T13:31:49Z2018-03-162018-03-16T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/25378TID:201887983enginfo: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:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:30:46Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/25378Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:20:13.848802Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
