Abstract(s)
O crescimento do turismo activo, com especial enfoque para o turismo e desporto de natureza, confronta-se com a insuficiente qualificação dos recursos humanos envolvidos, principalmente quando se tratam de actividades de risco acrescido.
Neste sentido, esta dissertação visa contribuir para melhorar a formação em turismo e desporto de natureza, mais especificamente na modalidade de canyoning, materializando no desenvolvimento de uma proposta de modelo de formação para praticantes e técnicos de canyoning em Portugal.
Inicialmente apresenta-se um estado da arte referente ao turismo e desporto de natureza e a sua evidente importância para o desenvolvimento socioeconómico nas sociedades contemporâneas. Dando enfoque à formação em turismo e desporto de natureza e, em particular ao caso do canyoning.
Em canyoning os modelos de formação internacionais devem ser considerados e ajustados às necessidades e características doo contexto nacional, complementando a actual oferta formativa e os respectivos modelos de formação que presentemente não respondem às necessidades e exigências da actividade.
A análise da oferta de formação de canyoning em Portugal, a auscultação directa de especialistas e a aplicação de um questionário a técnicos e praticantes permitiu chegar a uma proposta de modelo de formação de canyoning que se julga adequado para a realidade portuguesa e que possa garantir a aquisição de competências ajustadas às especificidades da actividade, e que possibilitem a promoção de uma prática sustentável e com elevados níveis de segurança.
A formação evidencia grande importância para a promoção de competências e qualificação de praticantes e profissionais de canyoning, revelando-se fundamental para colmatar as fortes lacunas de conhecimentos verificadas.
