Resumo: | The Sea, (O Mar) has always been an essential part of the Portuguese National Identity. Surfing is an emerging global trend and a brand image. Over the past decades, the Economy of the Sea has gained an increasing importance and the “Return to the Sea" has actively promoted surf as one of its most significant activities. The current study provides a descriptive and analytic research on the importance of the Sea and the impact of Surf on Tourism in Portugal. In particular, it examines the surf industry, its potential and contribution to tourism as well as its effect on local economy with a particular focus on of Ericeira - the only World Surf Reserve in Europe. Results demonstrate how a change in social perspective contributes to the growth of surfing, impacting the professionalization within the sector and hosting of international surfing events. As implied, Portugal can maintain its position as Europe’s preferred surfing destination due to the country’s quality of natural resources and international promoting campaigns. Results illustrate how surfing has enhanced tourism, as seen through both the consistent increase of tourists in Ericeira and number of local businesses. Whilst this sector is not fully exploited, the need to; protect natural resources, create legal frameworks and the preserve the people’s identity, is kept in mind. There is definitely positive development in Ericeira and surf, as a mean of opening up mentalities, projecting Portugal as a touristic destination, its image as a modern country with new mentalities, where differences are accepted. |

O surf é uma tendência global emergente e uma imagem de marca. A Economia do Mar tem vindo a ganhar importância nas últimas décadas e o “Regresso ao Mar” promove o surf como uma das atividades significativas. Este estudo realiza uma pesquisa analítica e descritiva da importância do Mar e do impacto do Surf no Turismo em Portugal. É abordada a indústria do surf, do seu potencial, e o seu contributo para o turismo assim como o seu impacto nas economias locais; particularmente na Ericeira - a única Reserva Mundial de Surf na Europa. Os resultados mostram como a mudança de perspetiva social contribuiu para o crescimento do surf e da profissionalização do sector, no acolhimento de eventos de surf internacionais. Determina-se que Portugal poderia manter a sua posição como destino preferencial de surf na Europa, graças à qualidade dos seus recursos naturais, e às campanhas promocionais internacionais. Os resultados realçam que o surf promoveu o turismo traduzindo-se num aumento de turistas na Ericeira e dos negócios locais. Apesar de o potencial do sector ainda não ter sido totalmente explorado, a necessidade de proteger os recursos naturais, criar enquadramentos legais e preservar a identidade do povo, deverá ser tida em conta. Existe definitivamente um desenvolvimento positivo da Ericeira, do surf como meio de lançamento na projeção de Portugal, como um destino turístico e na imagem de um País moderno, de novas mentalidades e de aceitação das diferenças.2022-12-02T00:00:00Z2019-12-03T00:00:00Z2019-12-032019-10info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/19501TID:202345297engMartins, Salvador do Canto Monizinfo: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:RCAAP2023-11-09T17:48:50Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/19501Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:23:52.889863Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
