- Green HRM’s effect on employees’ eco-friendly behavior and green performance: a study in the portuguese tourism sectorPublication . Gomes, Daniel R.; Ribeiro, Neuza; Gomes, Gabriela; Ortega, Eduardo; Dias Semedo, Ana SuzeteAbstract: This study examines how Green Human Resource Management practices improve employees’ eco-friendly behavior and green performance, and the mediator effect of affective commitment in these relationships. Our sample included 449 employees, from different Portuguese tourism organizations. The results demonstrate that the implementation of Green Human Resource Management practices produces a positive effect on eco-friendly behavior, green performance, and affective commitment, with commitment mediating the mentioned relationship. Therefore, when organizations apply greener Human Resources Management, they might influence positively the attitudes and behaviors of their employees, improving their affective commitment and, consequently, their ecofriendly behaviors and green performance. This research is innovative as it integrates Green Human Resource Management, eco-friendly behavior, green performance, and affective commitment in a single research model, expanding the knowledge over these topics, and suggesting that organizations should establish Green Human Resource Management policies, especially those that strengthen employees’ affective attachment and improve their eco-friendly behavior as well as the organization’s green performance.
- Innovation and competitiveness in the territorial brand of the Algarve: a comparative analysis of its social media communication and web contentPublication . Cristòfol, Francisco J.; Berraquero-Rodríguez, Diego; Zamarreño-Aramendia, Gorka; Alves, PauloIn an increasingly competitive global tourism context, territorial branding plays a key role in enhancing the visibility, identity, and resilience of regions. This study focuses on the Algarve, a region in southern Portugal, and investigates how innovation and competitiveness are reflected in its digital communication strategy. Using a mixed-methods approach, this research combines the quantitative analysis of 689 social media posts published in 2024 on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube with the qualitative content analysis of 38 documents and the official website of Algarve. The findings reveal a coherent and visually appealing brand narrative centred on the coastal identity of the Algarve, complemented by content related to nature, gastronomy, and cultural heritage. Instagram stands out as the most engaging platform, particularly when posts adopt a participatory tone, emotional storytelling, and references to specific locations. However, only 6.4% of the content surpassed the 1% engagement threshold, suggesting limited audience connection. The website presents a broader thematic range but under-represents intangible heritage and local products. The Algarve brand successfully projects an aspirational image based on landscape and leisure but would benefit from greater content diversification, enhanced stakeholder integration, and expanded narrative strategies to strengthen digital engagement and destination competitiveness.
- Minute city concept for healthy tourism during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. who for? The city of Lagos, PortugalPublication . Pires Rosa, Manuela; Lopes, Ana; Aghaeizadeh, Esmaeil; Gomes, André; Andraz, JorgeUrban spatial organization provided an important contribution for healthy tourism in the first COVID-19 pandemic period. The 15-Minute City concept promotes walking which is essential for the development of outdoor activities for a healthier tourism. The tourist city of Lagos (Portugal) is a pilot city of the Interreg Med SuSTowns Project which aims to promote sustainable and resilient territories. This study presents an analysis of the pedestrian accessibility through a specific geographical indicator: the percentage of short-term rentals existing in the surrounding tourist attractions. Ideal standard distances, studied internationally, were considered to assess this close proximity. Different walking speeds were considered to address human diversity and their implications on the 15-Minute City concept. The functionalities of the geographic information systems, in particular the assessment of distances over the pedestrian network were used. The results indicate that in the city of Lagos there is a trend towards an effective 15-Minute City for healthy tourists, promoting walking which could enhance tourism attraction. For tourists with reduced mobility, the use of accessible public transportation is required and needs to be integrated in the 15-Minute City concept.
- Resident empowerment in all-inclusive context: cost–benefit perception and support for sustainable tourism development in a small island destinationPublication . Santos, Edson Redy Moreira dos; Nobre Pereira, Luis; Pinto, Patrícia; Ribeiro, Manuel AlectorThis study examines the relationships among resident empowerment, perceptions of tourism costs and benefits, and support for sustainable tourism development (SSTD) in a small island destination dominated by all-inclusive resorts. Using survey data from 341 residents in Cape Verde and employing PLS-SEM analysis, results reveal significant relationships between empowerment, benefits, and SSTD. The perception of all-inclusive resorts' positive impacts moderates the relationship between empowerment and SSTD, while the perception of all-inclusive resorts' costs does not moderate any relationships. The study contributes to understanding how all-inclusive tourism development influences resident attitudes and support for sustainability in small island contexts. The findings underscore the importance of empowering residents and managing perceptions of tourism impacts to foster SSTD. Practical implications include the need for policies that promote local empowerment, equitable benefit distribution, and mitigation of negative impacts to ensure long-term sustainability of small island destinations and beyond.
