- Medieval tourism events: case study of the AlgarvePublication . Procopiak, Rafael Kopp Alvarez; Almeida, Claudia; Renda, Ana Isabel AçoThis thesis paper deals with Medieval Tourism events, with the case study of the Algarve (the events of Castro Marim’s “Dias Medievais”, Salir’s “Salir do Tempo”, and Silve’s “Feira Medieval”). The main objective of this study is to analyze the medieval tourism events that happen in Portugal and Spain, with a case study on the Algarve region. The side objective is: (i) To characterize the medieval tourism events in the Iberian Peninsula; (ii) To understand the evolution of these type of events in terms of supply and demand (iii) To know the opinion of those responsible for the organization of the medieval events in the Algarve, about the impacts of the same in the last two decades. We shall analyze the field of tourism generally speaking, cultural tourism, medieval tourism, and events and tourism section by section in our literature review. We shall in our methodology collect secondary data via a database on medieval events in the Iberian Peninsula, and primary data on our case study via interviews on the three events organizers. The analysis of the contents of the three interviews will shed light on our main research question which is "To what extent did the medieval events held in the Algarve, in the municipalities of Silves, Loulé and Castro Marim, contribute, in the perspective of their organizers, to the development of the localities and communities involved and to the increase of their awareness?" Finally, to conclude our study, we shall comment on future recommendations for research and directions for inquiry on Medieval tourism events.
