- Exploração das percepções sobre o emprego na hotelaria no Algarve durante a COVIDPublication . Castela, Guilherme; Henriques, Cláudia Helena; Lampreia Carvalho, Fatima; Afonso, CarlosThe Travel and Tourism (T&T) industry is highly sensitive to extreme events like pandemics (Price et al., 2022; OECD, 2020). The COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted the sector, leading to mobility restrictions and closures (Chowdhury and Jomo, 2020). However, it also presented opportunities for innovation (Price et al., 2022). The economic impact on Portugal's GDP was significant, with T&T's contribution dropping from 17.1% in 2019 to 8.7% in 2020 and recovering in subsequent years (WTTC, 2022). Given the Algarve's dependence on tourism, this study highlights the need for new strategies to overcome challenges (EURES, 2022). This research aims to analyse how Algarve's (South of Portugal) hospitality (hotels and restaurants) employers and employees perceived the Portuguese government's measures to address the COVID-19 crisis via a Three-Way Data Analysis multivariate statistical procedure, namely the COSTATIS method, which can be considered a more advanced or specialized version of STATIS, offering more flexibility and refinement in handling complex data relationships. The statistical procedure supports the assessment of 27 varieties of perceptions of the pandemic crisis that were collected from respondents distributed in four hospitality professional categories (restaurant and hotel managers and employees). The conclusions identify that association with a professional category in the hospitality industry tends to affect ideas regarding the potential for coping and resilience associated with organizational challenges. Members of the diverse professional categories think of the crisis in different ways due to their status and hierarchic position in business organisations. More attention should be given to what those professionals with lower status have to say about the organisational climate in the event of future crises.
- A bibliometric analysis: wine tourism in the sectorPublication . Gómez-Carmona, Diego; Marín-Dueñas, Pedro Pablo; Correia, Marisol B.; Escobar, Marta Toribio; de Matos, Nelson Manuel da Silva; Cruces-Montes, Serafín JesúsThe term “wine tourism” was first used in 90’s from Australia. The definition of ecotourism has been studied by many academics throughout its history, reaching the conclusion that it is the activities carried out by people outside their usual environment in a given period of time related to the viticulture of the environment and wine. This study aims to enhance knowledge in the wine tourism field by employing bibliometric methods to quantitatively analyze its evolution over the past two decades. This analysis shows that from 2019 onwards, publications increased considerably, reaching a peak in 2020, mostly (linking with COVID-19 lockdown). In the areas of geography and economics, as research in the area of tourism is still very recent. The conceptual analysis shows the variety of terms used by researchers and how they have evolved over time, the most commonly used being "touristic" and "vineyard", with others appearing such as "meal" connected to "winery waste" or "tourism development", which are more akin to current management.
- Challenges for tourism-related lifestyle migrant entrepreneurship in rural areas of the Algarve, PortugalPublication . Torkington, Kate; Eimermann, Marco; Perdigão Alexandre Ribeiro, Filipa; Conceição, SusanaMany rural areas in southern Europe have long suffered from outward migration but have recently been attracting new types of in-migration. This includes lifestyle migrant entrepreneurs (LMEs) seeking ways of improving their own quality of life and, at the same time, bringing new projects which aim to build on the potential and resources for rural tourism in their chosen destination place. Drawing on data from in-depth research interviews with LMEs and other stakeholders, this article stems from a research project focused on exploring tourism-related entrepreneurial lifestyle migration in the rural Algarve, in southern Portugal. Although this type of migration has often been identified as a potential driver for the sustainable development of both tourism activities and rural areas, this study focuses on the challenges identified, principally by the LMEs themselves, as regards the setting up, operationalisation and continuing activities of tourism-related businesses in rural areas of the Algarve. A variety of challenges were detected, at the micro-, meso- and macro-levels of the entrepreneurial migration process. The most recurrent problem faced is the level of bureaucracy and the difficulties encountered in legal processes. Although this is sometimes due to the language barrier, it is also related to the lack of clear information on procedures and the lack of specialised support. This finding points to the need for a greater level of cooperation and communication among the various stakeholders to ensure a more sustainable development of tourism in these rural areas.
- Stroke rehabilitation pathways during the first year: A cost-effectiveness analysis from a cohort of 460 individualsPublication . Barbosa, Pedro Maciel; Szrek, Helena; Ferreira, Lara; Cruz, Vitor Tedim; Firmino-Machado, JoãoBackground: Stroke burden challenges global health, and social and economic policies. Although stroke recovery encompasses a wide range of care, including in-hospital, outpatient, and community-based rehabilitation, there are no published cost-effectiveness studies of integrated post-stroke pathways. Objective: To determine the most cost-effective rehabilitation pathway during the first 12 months after a first-ever stroke. Methods: A cohort of people in the acute phase of a first stroke was followed after hospital discharge; 51 % women, mean (SD) age 74.4 (12.9) years, mean National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score 11.7 (8.5) points, and mode modified Rankin Scale score 3 points. We developed a decision tree model of 9 sequences of rehabilitation care organised in 3 stages (3, 6 and 12 months) through a combination of public, semi-public and private entities, considering both the individual and healthcare service perspectives. Health outcomes were expressed as quality-adjusted life years (QALY) over a 1-year time horizon. Costs included healthcare, social care, and productivity losses. Sensitivity analyses were con ducted on model input values. Results: From the individual perspective, pathway 3 (Short-term Inpatient Unit » Community Clinic) was the most cost-effective, followed by pathway 1 (Rehabilitation Centre » Community Clinic). From the healthcare service perspective, pathway 3 was the most cost-effective followed by pathway 7 (Outpatient Hospital » Private Clinic). All other pathways were considered strongly dominated and excluded from the analysis. The total 1-year mean cost ranged between €12104 and €23024 from the individual’s perspective and between €10992 and €31319 from the healthcare service perspective. Conclusion: Assuming a willingness-to-pay threshold of one times the national gross domestic product (€20633/QALY), pathway 3 (Short-term Inpatient Unit » Community Clinic) was the most cost-effective strategy from both the individual and healthcare service perspectives. Rehabilitation pathway data contribute to the development of a future integrated care system adapted to different stroke profiles.
- Reshaping the future of tourism & hospitality industry through blockchain technology: a systematic literature reviewPublication . Mountije, Yassine; Agapito, Dora Lúcia Miguel; Ramos, CeliaBlockchain is an emerging technology, and despite the growing literature on the topic, research on the use of blockchain in the tourism and hospitality industry is still fragmented. Therefore, further research is needed to explore blockchain’s applications, benefits, and obstacles from the perspective of businesses and consumers. This article aims to systematically review the extant blockchain-related literature and understand how this technology can be applied to optimise tourism and hospitality products and enhance tourist experiences. Following PRISMA guidelines, 98 peer-reviewed articles were deemed relevant to this study through a search in Scopus and Web of Science platforms. As a result of mapping research on blockchain in tourism and hospitality industry using Bibliometrix, a framework focused on applications, benefits and obstacles was developed. Findings can be used as a guide by researchers to advance the topic, as well as by stakeholders and policymakers in the field. Managers in tourism and hospitality should understand how to incorporate blockchain in businesses better, and policymakers should endeavour to develop clear regulations, especially for cryptocurrency use, which can lead to an increase in the adoption of blockchain in tourism and hospitality companies.
- Rethinking speaking in ELT: where does intelligibility stand in the EFL classroom?Publication . Constantino Correia, RúbenLearning a Foreign Language (FL) is, as a rule, seen by experts as a major asset for global understanding and the mobility of people. English is found at the top of the pyramid as the number one language to achieve these goals. Nowadays, being able to express oneself intelligibly in English is decisive for students who want to thrive both academically and professionally. Indeed, the concept of intelligibility is now firmly established in the field of Applied Linguistics as one of the key factors in explaining success or otherwise in communication between interlocutors from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Accordingly, the essence of this article lies in the analysis of the communicative teaching practices of EFL teachers in Portugal and how they reflect on the learners’ speaking proficiency and intelligibility. Findings show that English continues to be taught with little regard to its real-world use, creating a gap between the learners’ needs/expectations and their true learning. Overall, the article focuses on the need for a reconceptualisation of speaking within an intelligibility frame of mind. Thus, it poses a challenge to traditional approaches to language teaching and learning practices by claiming a need to rethink approaches to learners’ oral proficiency grounded in the intelligibility principle.
- Cognitive, affective and behavioural repercussions of perceived quality in tourism vocational education: insights from self-determination theoryPublication . Silva, Rejane Santana da; Quiroga Souki, Gustavo; Oliveira, Alessandro Silva de; Vieira, Luís Sérgio; Dionísio Serra, Manuel AntónioPurpose – This study aimed to investigate the influence of the perceived quality by students regarding their experiences in vocational schools in tourism, hospitality and food service on cognitive and affective responses (satisfaction, self-efficacy expectations and self-regulation strategies of motivation for learning - SRSML) and commitment (behavioural response). Design/methodology/approach – A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 454 students from twelve Turismo de Portugal IP-affiliated schools. The theoretical framework was rooted in Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and PLS-SEM, using ADANCO 2.3 software to test the proposed model. Findings – Perceived quality by students concerning their school experiences are socio-contextual factors that directly influence their satisfaction and self-efficacy expectations (cognitive and affective responses). Satisfaction and self-efficacy expectations positively affected SRSML. Finally, satisfaction and the SRSML positively impacted the students` commitment to schools (behavioural response). Originality/value – This study contributes to academia by comprehensively addressing 16 perceived quality dimensions within vocational education. It aligns with SDT, revealing that socio-contextual factors affect students’ cognitive, affective, and behavioural responses. Additionally, it demonstrates positive relationships between student satisfaction, self-efficacy expectations, SRSML, and students’ commitment to vocational education institutions. This study emphasises the multidimensional nature of perceived quality, urging educational institutions to address tangible and intangible dimensions to develop strategies to provide high-quality experiences, increasing students` satisfaction, self-efficacy expectations, motivation, and commitment.
- Digital cultural heritagePublication . Portalés, Cristina; Rodrigues, Joao; Rodrigues Gonçalves, Alexandra; Alba, Ester; Sebastián, JorgeMost contemporary thinkers agree that we are going through a time of historical change, building a different concept and model of social interrelation. Our ways of life and work have changed, as have the ways in which we communicate and relate to each other. Likewise, an increasing consensus indicates the need to reconfigure traditional social and cultural structures. The Internet, the virtual social networks, and the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have coalesced into a new collective consciousness—a world intercommunicated from the local to the global [1]. The fusion of tradition, culture, history, and legacy with technology, innovation, and interaction provides an attractive system that serves both as an artistic expression and as a fundamental tool for diffusion in cultural institutions [2]. For instance, the usage of interactive technologies such as virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR), combined with multidimensional or multimodal representations [3], provides a significant novelty. User interaction offers a broader perspective, making people more aware of their actions, helping them become the true center of the application. It also enables interactive artistic expression through alternative realities, as well as narration supported by the use of virtual avatars.
- Inclusive tourism: assessing the accessibility of Lisbon as a tourist destinationPublication . Rebelo, Sandra; Patuleia, Mafalda; Dias, ÁlvaroFull accessibility to people with reduced mobility, applied to tourism, is difficult to achieve and should not be seen in an absolute way, but as a concern to make tourism services more accessible and focused on the specific and individual needs of people as tourists. National and regional entities should adopt good practices to build a tourism of all, for all. The Delphi method was used in order to verify the accessibility and attractiveness of the city of Lisbon as a tourist destination by addressing the following objectives: to analyse the competitiveness of a destination for people with reduced mobility, to analyse if Lisbon is attractive and inclusive, considering its infrastructures, services, hospitality, tourist attractions and accessibility. The results obtained in the study show that Lisbon’s factors and resources are increasingly accessible to people with reduced mobility. Our findings reveal that entertainment, general and tourism infrastructures, accommodation, the various activities and cultural resources and the quality of services present greater accessibility for people with reduced mobility. The factors with less importance were: marketing of a destination, accessibilities, and natural resources.
- From destination attributes to tourist satisfaction: novelty-seeking as a bridge between liminality and place attachmentPublication . Lança, Milene; Nobre Pereira, Luis; Silva, joão; Andraz, Jorge; Cunha Sousa Nunes, Rui JoséThis study analyses how destination attributes influence tourist satisfaction via perceived quality, price, and safety, and how these relationships differ by novelty-seeking orientation. Framed at the intersection of liminality and place attachment, novelty-seeking is conceptualised as the behavioural mechanism linking extraordinary experiences to emotional bonds with place, offering the first empirical integration of these frameworks in tourism research. Using data from 1,488 tourists visiting the Algarve (Portugal) in 2022–2023 and Partial Least Squares Multigroup Analysis (PLS-MGA), the results show that for conservative tourists, destination attributes enhance perceived quality, lower perceived prices and safety concerns, and increase satisfaction. For adventurous tourists, satisfaction is driven mainly by perceived price and is negatively affected by in situ safety concerns, indicating that novelty-seekers do not uniformly discount risk. The findings highlight how novelty-seeking conditions cognitive pathways to satisfaction and inform market segmentation strategies aligned with distinct motivational orientations.
