Resumo: The positioning of a place constitutes a crucial cornerstone in destination management as the conveyed image is clearly an important influencer in buyers’ decision making. This paper focuses on how image is developed and managed in medium-sized urban areas. Two cases illustrate how local tourist boards define the key vectors underpinning the promotion and position of their regions as attractive destinations. This article discusses and comments upon the underlying strategies and their implementation in such urban centers. Managerial implications and avenues for future research are presented.

Este estudo aborda o desenvolvimento e gestão da imagem de áreas urbanas de média dimensão. Recorre-se a dois casos para ilustrar o modo como os órgãos de turismo locais definem os vectores-chave que constituem a base da promoção e posicionamento das suas regiões como destinos atractivos. Este artigo discute e comenta as estratégias subjacentes e a sua implementação em tais centros urbanos. São ainda apresentadas implicações para a gestão e avenidas para estudos futuros.Departamento de Economia, Gestão, Engenharia Industrial e Turismo da Universidade de Aveiro2008-01-01T00:00:00Zjournal articlejournal articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34624/rtd.v0i9.13695oai:proa.ua.pt:article/13695Journal of Tourism & Development; No 9 (2008); 79-90Revista Turismo & Desenvolvimento; n.º 9 (2008); 79-902182-14531645-9261reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPenghttps://proa.ua.pt/index.php/rtd/article/view/13695https://doi.org/10.34624/rtd.v0i9.13695https://proa.ua.pt/index.php/rtd/article/view/13695/9193https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSimões, Cláudia2022-09-26T10:57:25Zoai:proa.ua.pt:article/13695Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:06:03.347665Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
