Guest presentation<\/strong>\u00a0<\/i><\/span>Strategic tourism planning in practice: the case of Porto, Portugal<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Tuesday, 24 April, 3-4pm, F108\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Carla Pinto Cardoso, Portuguese Catholic University<\/span><\/p>\n

Porto, the second largest city of Portugal, is increasingly becoming an\u00a0important European tourism destination. In 2017, after the 9th consecutive year of above-average growth, the\u00a0city enjoyed its best performance ever in terms of number of international arrivals and tourist spending. Alongside this boom, Porto has\u00a0won various international awards, such as the award for Top\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

European Tourism Destination (2012, 2014, 2017), and was nominated for three categories of the World Travel Awards: Best European Destination; Europe\u2019s Best City Break; and Best Tourist Attraction.\u00a0In this presentation, the\u00a0key factors\u00a0that contributed to the current success\u00a0of Porto will be examined. In addition, the\u00a0methodological\u00a0steps and strategic approaches\u00a0underpinning the design of Porto\u2019s tourism Plan wwill be reviewed. The\u00a0presentation will contribute to a better\u00a0understanding of tourism planning at the regional level, since many of the points raised from Porto\u2019s experience have a more general application to other cities experiencing growth in tourism or seeking to develop this sector.<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"\n
