Consequentemente, originou-se uma revolução no processo de recolha e troca de informação dos consumidores a respeito de marcas, produtos e serviços. Atualmente, qualquer pessoa pode expressar a sua opinião nas suas contas nas redes sociais e partilhá-la com quem quiser a uma escala global. É desta forma que aparecem os Influenciadores de Redes Sociais (IRSs), qualquer pessoa com uma audiência consideravelmente grande nas redes sociais pode influenciar outros utilizadores a agir da mesma forma que eles. Atualmente, a indústria de Turismo e Viagens (T&V) está a enfrentar desafios sem precedentes devido à pandemia Covid-19. Sendo um dos maiores setores em todo o mundo, capaz de impulsionar o desenvolvimento socioeconómico e a criação de emprego, é vital que esta indústria recupere o mais rapidamente possível. Inúmeras ações estão a ser realizadas com a finalidade de estimular o turismo e uma ótima forma de o fazer pode ser através dos IRSs. Resumidamente, esta pesquisa tenciona entender se os IRSs podem estimular a indústria de T&V, mostrando que um destino e os seus serviços/produtos turísticos são seguros neste período de medo de viajar devido à pandemia.2021-08-25T17:03:10Z2021-07-19T00:00:00Z2021-07-192021-06info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/23045TID:202752267engMadureira, Lara Batistainfo: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:RCAAP2023-11-09T17:46:48Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/23045Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:22:36.533152Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
