- Tourists’ perceptions about the tourism in the Algarve: contributions for a sustainable tourism developmentPublication . Silva, João; Andraz, Jorge; Pereira, LN; Nunes, Rui Miguel da Cunha; Rijo, Ana RitaSince the construction of Faro Airport in 1965, the Algarve has developed into a mass tourism (Costa, 2005) and sun, sea and sand destination (Do Valle et al., 2012), becoming one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe (Andraz & Rodrigues, 2016), and a crucial one for Portugal (Soler et al., 2019). The 5,412 square kilometre region has several features contributing to its atractiveness, such as mild weather conditions, over 3,000 hours of sunshine per annum and low rainfall (Visit Algarve, 2018). Natural areas occupy 70% of the 318 km Algarvian Coast and 37% of its territory consists of natural reservations, nature parks or protected landscape areas (Visit Algarve, 2018). The region hosts 31 of the 70 golf courses of Portugal and is a reputable golf destination, having received titles such as “Best Worldwide Golf Destination” by the International Association of Golf Tour Operator (IAGTO) on several occasions (Oliveira et al., 2019). The main source markets of the Algarve are domestic tourism and Europeans seeking a beach or golf holiday (Oliveira et al., 2019). With its high contribution to the GDP, the region strongly relies on tourism as a contributor to the economy (Do Valle et al., 2012).
