Abstract

Portugal is an important tourist destination in Europe and the world. Tourism is one of Portugal’s main socio-economic activities, with a highly satisfactory growth potential. The analysis of Portuguese tourism that is presented here spans the period 1965 to 2016. It therefore sets out the main changes in tourism in Portugal over the last 50 years. The rise in tourist demand and the growing internationalization of destinations are emphasized, highlighting the importance of air transport, event organization and promotional campaigns. In terms of tourist destination structure, this article highlights the main tourist products and their consolidation over the period, the importance of education and training of human resources to ensure the quality of products and services, and the regional differentiation of tourist activity. Lastly, it presents a summary of the main tourist planning initiatives in Portugal in the last 50 years. The results show a marked increase in tourism supply and demand in the first 16 years of the twenty-first century, an increasing improvement of amenities and diversification of markets, not to mention a planning effort, yet an asymmetrical pattern persists in the national territory.
葡萄牙作为旅游目的地
葡萄牙是欧洲和世界上重要的旅游目的地。旅游业是葡萄牙的主要社会经济活动之一,具有非常令人满意的增长潜力。本文对葡萄牙旅游业的分析涵盖了1965年至2016年。因此,它列出了葡萄牙旅游业在过去50年中的主要变化。强调了旅游需求的增长和目的地日益国际化,强调了航空运输、活动组织和促销活动的重要性。在旅游目的地结构方面,本文强调了主要的旅游产品及其在这一时期的整合,人力资源教育和培训对确保产品和服务质量的重要性,以及旅游活动的区域差异。最后,它总结了葡萄牙过去50年来的主要旅游规划举措。结果显示,在21世纪的前16年,旅游业的供需显著增加,便利设施日益改善,市场多样化,更不用说规划工作了,但国家领土上仍然存在不对称模式。
