Resumo: | At a time when the World is affected by a pandemic and protection measures include social distancing, sanitation and disinfection of spaces and equipment, the tourism sector is exposed to numerous obstacles. Insecurity caused by the pandemic has affected tourism numbers around the world, thus making the need to assess the effective impact of Covid-19 on the tourism sector, on the evolution of outdoor tourism, as well as the specific impact of pandemic in the Peneda-Gerês National Park (PGNP). For the preparation of this study, a qualitative methodology will be adopted, using interviews with entities related to the PGNP to collect information on the perception of the impact of the pandemic in the study area. Thus, the results from the present study estimate an increase in the number of visitors to the Park in the summer months. There was a high number of new visitors, especially Portuguese, which would be expected in view of the limitations in traveling, caused by the pandemic. On the other hand, the number of outdoor tourists may have been affected due to the cancellation of sporting events, especially in the low season months, contributing to the increase in seasonality. |

Perceptions of COVID-19's impact on outdoor Tourism in the Peneda-Gerês National ParkPerceções do impacto da COVID-19 no Turismo outdoor no Parque Nacional da Peneda-GerêsAt a time when the World is affected by a pandemic and protection measures include social distancing, sanitation and disinfection of spaces and equipment, the tourism sector is exposed to numerous obstacles. Insecurity caused by the pandemic has affected tourism numbers around the world, thus making the need to assess the effective impact of Covid-19 on the tourism sector, on the evolution of outdoor tourism, as well as the specific impact of pandemic in the Peneda-Gerês National Park (PGNP).

A insegurança causada pela pandemia afetou os números do turismo um pouco por todo o Mundo, tornando, portanto, emergente a necessidade de aferir o impacto efetivo da Covid-19 no setor do turismo, na evolução do turismo outdoor, bem como o impacto específico da pandemia no Parque Nacional da Peneda-Gerês (PNPG). Para a elaboração deste estudo, será adotada uma metodologia qualitativa, recorrendo à realização de entrevistas a entidades relacionadas com o PNPG para a recolha de informação sobre a perceção do impacto da pandemia na área de estudo. Assim, os resultados provenientes do presente estudo, estimam um aumento do número de visitantes do Parque nos meses de verão. Verificou-se um elevado número de novos visitantes, sobretudo portugueses, que seria de esperar face às limitações em viajar, causadas pela pandemia. Por sua vez, o número de turistas outdoor pode ter foi afetado devido ao cancelamento dos eventos desportivos, sobretudo nos meses de época baixa, contribuindo para o aumento da sazonalidade.Departamento de Economia, Gestão, Engenharia Industrial e Turismo da Universidade de Aveiro2021-07-02T00:00:00Zjournal articlejournal articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34624/rtd.v1i36.23748oai:proa.ua.pt:article/23748Journal of Tourism & Development; Vol 36 No 1 (2021); 393-408Revista Turismo & Desenvolvimento; vol. 36 n.º 1 (2021); 393-4082182-14531645-9261reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://proa.ua.pt/index.php/rtd/article/view/23748https://doi.org/10.34624/rtd.v1i36.23748https://proa.ua.pt/index.php/rtd/article/view/23748/18033Direitos de Autor (c) 2021 Revista Turismo & Desenvolvimentohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFerreira, Fernanda A.Costa, ElgaRibeiro, JoaquimReis, André2022-09-26T10:57:40Zoai:proa.ua.pt:article/23748Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:06:17.316587Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
