Resumo: | It is widely recognized that active travel, in particularly cycling, provides diverse economic, environmental and health benefits both for tourism destinations and for the tourists. However, the number of tourists who use the bicycle is still very limited, especially youth tourists. Moreover, the literature in this field is not fully explored. To expand the knowledge in this field, this paper aims to analyze the motivations, travel behavior and benefits obtained by young bicycle tourists. A Portuguese university student survey was carried out, in 2016, to analyze the cycling behavior of this segment. A total of 591 completed questionnaires were obtained. Results reveal that 44% of the students interviewed use the bicycle and 21% use it during their tourism activities. This paper only analyzes the motivations, travel behavior and benefits obtained of the students interviewed that use the bicycle in their tourist activities. The paper ends with some guidelines to promote the use of bicycle by youth tourists during their trips. |

Motivations and travel behavior of cycling tourists: a youth market analysisMotivações, comportamento de viagem e benefícios obtidos dos turistas de bicicleta: uma análise do Mercado jovemIt is widely recognized that active travel, in particularly cycling, provides diverse economic, environmental and health benefits both for tourism destinations and for the tourists. However, the number of tourists who use the bicycle is still very limited, especially youth tourists. Moreover, the literature in this field is not fully explored. To expand the knowledge in this field, this paper aims to analyze the motivations, travel behavior and benefits obtained by young bicycle tourists. A Portuguese university student survey was carried out, in 2016, to analyze the cycling behavior of this segment. A total of 591 completed questionnaires were obtained.

É amplamente reconhecido que as viagens ativas, particularmente o ciclismo, proporcionam vários benefícios económicos, ambientais e ao nível da saúde, tanto para os destinos turísticos como para os turistas. No entanto, o número de turistas que usam a bicicleta nas suas viagens é ainda é muito limitado, especialmente os turistas jovens. Além disso, a literatura sobre esta temática é ainda muito escassa. Para ampliar os conhecimentos neste domínio, este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as motivações, comportamento de viagem e benefícios obtidos pelos estudantes universitários que utilizam a bicicleta nas suas atividades turísticas. Realizou-se, em 2016, um inquérito aos estudantes universitários portugueses para analisar o comportamento em termos de utilização da bicicleta. Foram obtidos 591 questionários válidos. Os resultados revelam que 44% dos estudantes entrevistados utilizam a bicicleta e que 21% a utilizam durante a prática de atividades turísticas. Este artigo apenas analisa as motivações, comportamento de viagem e os benefícios obtidos dos alunos entrevistados que utilizam a bicicleta nas suas atividades turísticas. O artigo termina com algumas sugestões para promover o uso da bicicleta por parte de turistas jovens durante as suas viagens.
