Resumo: | Global warming is one of the greatest threats to winter sports tourism in the Alpine region. The influences of rising temperatures caused by climate change pose severe impediments for winter sports tourism. This rise in temperature results in an increase in the snowfall line and thus a decrease in the natural snow-reliability. The present thesis focuses on the effects which disrup-tive global warming is currently causing on the winter sports industry in the Austrian Alps and draws an outlook for the industry. To this end, the effects of different temperature increases on the industry were analysed and, with the help of expert interviews, current trends in the industry were identified. Based on the analyses and expert interviews, three scenarios were derived and future perspectives presented. A positive scenario shows how the industry, through pioneering and innovative spirit, succeeds in creating a sustainable solution for the survival of winter sports. In a neutral scenario, the market participants manage to sustain the demand for winter sports tourism with a considerable amount of expenditure. The negative scenario signifies that a contraction process will take place in the industry, which will lead to a reduction in supply on the one hand and to reduced profits on the other. The number of participants forced out of the market will increase, and thus winter sports tourism ceases to exist in the long term. These future scenarios are intended to provide comprehensive support to winter sports tourism man-agers in their initial steps towards a more sustainable industry. |

As influências do aumento das temperaturas causadas pelas mudanças climáticas representam graves impedimentos para o setor. O aumento da temperatura resulta no aumento na linha da queda de neve e, portanto, na diminuição da confiabilidade natural da neve. A presente tese foca nos efeitos do aquecimento global na indústria de esportes de inverno nos Alpes austríacos e desenha uma perspectiva para a indústria. Para tanto, foram analisados os efeitos de diferentes aumentos de temperatura na indústria e, com a ajuda de entrevistas com especialistas, foram identificadas as tendências atuais da indústria. Com base nas análises e nas entrevistas foram elaborados três cenários e apresentadas perspectivas futuras. Um cenário positivo mostra como a indústria, através de um espírito pioneiro e inovador, consegue criar uma solução sustentável para a sobrevivência dos esportes de inverno. Em um cenário neutro, os participantes do mer-cado conseguem sustentar a demanda pelo turismo de esportes de inverno com uma quantidade considerável de investimentos. O cenário negativo significa que um processo de contração oco-rrerá na indústria, levando a uma redução na oferta e a uma redução nos lucros. O número de participantes forçados a sair do mercado aumentará e o turismo de esportes de inverno deixará de existir a longo prazo. Esses cenários visam fornecer suporte abrangente aos gerentes de tu-rismo de esportes de inverno em seus passos iniciais em direção ao desenvolvimento de um setor mais sustentávePinho, André de AlmeidaVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaMüller, Lea Theresa2020-02-28T08:38:40Z2020-01-2920192020-01-29T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/29719TID:202439542enginfo: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:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:35:16Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/29719Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:23:53.501355Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
