Abstract(s)
Os animais de estimação têm um papel cada vez mais importante nas famílias dos seus tutores, influenciando a vida quotidiana de forma direita ou indireta. Estes tornaram-se fundamentais na vida dos seus cuidadores, inclusive nas experiências de lazer. A investigação identifica uma lacuna na literatura sobre a influência dos animais de estimação nas experiências turísticas de lazer. Apesar do crescente reconhecimento do seu papel nas famílias, há poucos estudos que abordem as emoções e o prazer associado a estas viagens. Além disso, a oferta limitada de serviços pet-friendly em destinos turísticos destaca uma oportunidade por explorar.
Este trabalho tem como principal objetivo analisar de que forma os animais de estimação podem influenciar as viagens de lazer dos seus tutores, através de um estudo realizado com uma pequena amostra de 60. Os dados foram recolhidos por meio de um questionário dirigido apenas a cuidadores de animais de estimação, procurando identificar as dificuldades que estes encontram ao viajar com os seus companheiros e como estes influenciam a experiência de lazer dos seus cuidadores. Os dados foram coletados com início em 5 de julho de 2024 e término em 1 de setembro de 2024.
Os resultados indicam uma coerência moderada, embora não definitiva, sugerindo que os animais de estimação podem de certa forma influenciar emocionalmente a experiência dos seus tutores. No entanto, os testes de análise de dados mostram indícios de que estes podem ter um impacto muito relevante no que diz respeito as emoções e em experiências únicas nas viagens turísticas.
Pets play an increasingly important role in their care’s owners' families, influencing daily life either directly or indirectly. They have become fundamental in the lives of their owners, including in leisure experiences. The investigation identifies a gap in the literature concerning the influence of pets on leisure tourism experiences. Despite the growing recognition of their role within families, there are few studies that address the emotions and pleasure associated with these trips. Furthermore, the limited availability of pet-friendly services in tourist destinations highlights an opportunity yet to be explored. Accordingly, the main objective of this study is to analyze how pets can influence their owners' leisure trips, through research conducted with a small sample of 60 participants. The data were collected through a questionnaire directed solely at pet owners, aiming to identify the challenges they face when traveling with their companions and how these animals influence their leisure experiences. Data was collected starting on July 5, 2024 and ending on September 1, 2024. The results indicate a moderate, though not definitive, coherence, suggesting that pets can, to some extent, emotionally influence their owners' experiences. However, data analysis tests show evidence that they can have a significant impact on emotions and create unique experiences in tourist trips.
