- Promoting sustainability through regional food and wine pairingPublication . Serra, Manuel; Antonio, Nuno; Henriques, Cláudia Helena; Afonso, Carlos M.Sustainable development has been growingly recognized as important in the scope of tourism and hospitality industry practices. Gastronomic tourism associated with regional food-and wine pairing helps the emerging of higher quality services and contributes to the sustainability of tourist destinations. This study presents a pairing model based on three Real-Time Delphi (RTD) questionnaires to allow experts to select and pair regional wines with regional foods. In the first questionnaire, the experts were asked to choose, by category, the most representative regional dishes from the Algarve region (Portugal). In the second questionnaire, for each dish, experts voted on the best regional wines for the dish. In the third questionnaire, experts made quantitative and qualitative analyses for each of the three most voted wines for each dish. The resulting pairing model of regional food and wines will be communicated to tourism professionals and the general public. By promoting the consumption of these pairings, we promote an efficient, socially fair, and ecologically sustainable local economy. At the same time, we stimulate the circular economy in tourism.

- Interconnections between the cultural and creative industries and tourism: challenges in four Ibero-American capital citiesPublication . Henriques, Cláudia; Elias, Silvina ReneePurpose - This paper aims to investigate the European and Latin America urban cultural policies that could enhance cultural and creative sustainable tourism products development. Design/methodology/approach - The methodological framework is based on a comparative case study regarding the importance, dynamics and policies associated to cultural and creative tourism in four Ibero-American cities, namely, Brasilia, Buenos Aires, Lisbon and Madrid. Findings - This exploratory analysis underlines the growing importance of cultural and creative tourism in the four capital cities. On one hand, cities reveal different tourism impacts and, on the other hand, they are associated to different cultural and creative sector structures. Cities cultural and creative performance put in evidence that sustainable cities index, global talent competitiveness index and cultural and creative cities monitor, tend to position Madrid in the first place followed by, Lisbon, Buenos Aires and Brasilia. Research limitations/implications - In general, and despite the importance of space in the creative process, there is little research on the geography of the creative industries and there is a lack of cross-country comparative studies so that it is difficult to assess the particularities of each model of creativity. Practical implications - Cities could enhance more efforts in investing, not only in the traditional cultural infrastructures but also on the new forms of culture, new technologies, new makers, new audiences based on their attributes, activities and labels, in a framework of urban sustainable policies based on "innovation," "inclusiveness" and "interconnectivity." Originality/value - The originality of the paper lies in the comparative analysis of four cities based on cultural and creative sector and tourism interconnections. Simultaneously, it lies in an exploratory model application.
- Tourism and Algarve underwater archaeological heritage valorisation: a case studyPublication . Henriques, Cláudia Helena; Roeder, F.This paper aims to investigate the interrelation between sea, tourism and culture associated with underwater archaeological heritage. Its main objective is to determine the existence of creative actions and projects that valorise tourism related with underwater archaeological heritage in the Algarve. The assumption is that underwater heritage is a valuable resource to tourism economy of seaside territories. Regarding the Algarve, WTTC (2003) refers that “the Travel & Tourism industry directly contributes 45% of GDP and 37% of jobs”. However, as is also refereed in this document “forecasts for the next ten years (2013) are very modest”. This means that, unless Algarve Tourism (Turismo do Algarve) and the private sector succeed in changing direction and surpassing the baseline forecasts, the share of visitor exports in the scheme of total exports will fall. As MEID/TP (2011) and Governo de Portugal (2013) point out for the Algarve region, the Sun and Sea, as well as Golf, are considered to be the main strategic products. The core Sun and Sea product should have a multi-segmented offer and be able to widen the summer season. In this context, it is important to develop new tourism products related with sea, nautical and cultural tourism. The present paper is based on a documental research of tourism public policies and also on a set of interviews of entities connected with underwater archaeological heritage with the intention of determining their role in the valorisation of this type of heritage in the Algarve.

- Turismo cidade e cultura: planeamento e gestão sustentávelPublication . Henriques, CláudiaO Turismo Urbano Cultural é um dos sectores mais importantes em ter-mos de expectativas de crescimento económico e de criação de empregos. À medida que processos como a mercadorização e turistificação da cidade e da cultura se desenvolvem e intensificam nas actuais sociedades globais, o turismo vai-se impondo como uma força de mudança determinante no desenvolvimento económico e sócio-urbanístico local. Para as questões e desafios que se colocam há que encontrar soluções que permitam um desenvolvimento sustentado e equilibrado do espaço urbano e do seu aproveitamento turístico. Baseando-se numa estrutura analítica tridimensional onde emergem Turismo, Cidade e Cultura como os três grandes conceitos-chave do Turismo Urbano Cultural, esta obra oferece ao leitor um rigoroso e actua-lizado enquadramento teórico-conceptual sobre o turismo urbano e, mais especialmente, sobre o turismo cultural nos centros históricos das cidades. Equaciona as características específicas e tendências futuras da procura, produto e oferta turísticos, e estabelece a discussão sobre a importância do papel que cabe aos poderes públicos (central e local) no domínio do planeamento e gestão do turismo. No final apresenta e analisa alguns casos de estudo.

- Fado houses of Lisbon: between authenticity and touristificationPublication . Henriques, Cláudia Helena; Silva, João Albino; Santos, Miriam de OliveiraA gastronomia tem vindo a ser reconhecida enquanto património intangível determinante na valorização dos destinos turísticos. Experienciada em compósito com outros patrimónios, como o Fado, nomeadamente nas Casas de Fado de Lisboa, pode contribuir para a potenciação da autenticidade da oferta turística da cidade. Assim sendo, estabelece-se uma conexão entre dois patrimónios intangíveis, um deles [Fado], classificado como Património da Humanidade pela Unesco, a qual pode ser potenciadora de um aprofundamento do conhecimento da cultura da cidade e do país. Neste contexto, o presente artigo visa averiguar, de forma exploratória, a perspetiva dos proprietários/gestores das Casas de Fado lisboetas, relativamente às características da sua oferta turístico cultural [e gastronómica], bem como os principais elementos transformadores dessa oferta ao longo do tempo. Apoia-se numa metodologia de estudo de caso, colocando em destaque uma reflexão sobre a importância dos valores identitários do Fado e da gastronomia na construção de experiências cultural-gastronómicas, para seguidamente apresentar uma análise de conteúdo das ementas oferecidas pelas casas de Fado com vista a determinar a valorização atribuída à gastronomia tradicional. Adicionalmente, apresentam-se também os resultados de um inquérito por entrevista aplicado aos proprietários/gestores de Casas de Fado, que põem em evidência elementos transformadores na oferta das Casas de Fado que apelam a novas preocupações na sua gestão, tais como a nível da defesa da qualidade do Fado, da tipicidade da gastronomia oferecida, da adequação da decoração do estabelecimento, atmosfera e memorabilia fadista bem como relação intersectorial.
