Resumo(s)
The present study focuses on the perceptions of workers in traditional salt pans that receive visits from tourists in the south of Portugal. Methodologically, an ethnographic approach is taken. It is found that, on the one hand, for sea salt workers, the main incentive in their labour is the freedom to work outdoors. On the other hand, for tourists, their main motivations to visit the salt pans are related to the benefit of being outdoors in natural spaces, observe the telluric process of salt harvesting and participate in leisure activities related to this type of space. These findings also suggest that tourism in traditional salt pans enhances cultural heritage values and brings more economic sustainability to the activity.
