Abstract(s)
Ainda que a ilha do Príncipe sofra de constrangimentos associados à dupla insularidade, a região
é um destino com um desenvolvimento turístico muito aquém do seu potencial. Esta dissertação
visa contribuir para o desenvolvimento sustentável do Príncipe, através da apresentação de
propostas de valorização do turismo ativo.
Na primeira parte é enquadrado o contexto em que se inserem os Pequenos Estados Insulares em
Desenvolvimento, analisada a relevância do turismo para o seu desenvolvimento, e abordada a
necessidade de adotar um modelo de desenvolvimento adequado ao território, que privilegie a
sustentabilidade e satisfaça as necessidades do “novo turista”, mais ativo e interessado na
descoberta da identidade dos locais e na fruição de experiências de grande valor emocional.
De forma a sustentar as propostas elaboradas, foi posteriormente realizada a caracterização
geográfica e turística do território e realizado o inventário dos potenciais recursos turísticos, em
particular os que podem ser associados ao turismo ativo e na natureza, procedendo-se de seguida
à avaliação dos principais produtos turísticos e análise das potencialidades das principais
atividades de animação e desporto na natureza. A classificação dos recursos e a sua potencialidade
foram avaliadas através da observação de campo e da aplicação de entrevistas a vários
especialistas locais. Estes dois métodos foram igualmente importantes para se chegar a um
conjunto de propostas de desenvolvimento do turismo ativo na região.
Os resultados obtidos revelam um território com muitas fragilidades, mas com boas condições
para desenvolver o ecoturismo soft, associado ao segmento de turismo ativo sustentado nos
recursos endógenos.
Com base na investigação desenvolvida, apresentam-se propostas que pretendem contribuir para
uma melhoria do setor nas respostas às exigências do território, promovendo a sua afirmação no
mercado internacional como um destino qualificado e sustentável.
Although the island of Príncipe suffers from constraints associated with its double insularity, the region is a destination with a tourism development well below its potential. This dissertation aims to contribute to the sustainable development of Príncipe, through the presentation of proposals for the enhancement of active tourism. In the first part, is framed the context in which Small Island Developing States are inserted, is analyzed the relevance of tourism for their development and addressed the need to adopt a development model suited to the territory, one that favors sustainability and meets the needs of the “new tourist”, more active and interested in discovering the identity of places and enjoys experiences of great emotional value. In order to support the proposals elaborated, was subsequently carried out a geographic and tourist characterization of the territory as well as an inventory of the potential tourist resources, particularly those that can be associated with active and nature tourism, proceeding then with the evaluation of the main tourist products and analysis of the potential of the main entertainment activities and sports in nature. The classification of resources and their potential were assessed through field observation and interviews with several local experts. These two methods were equally important in achieving at a set of proposals for the development of active tourism in the region. The results obtained reveal a territory with many weaknesses, but with good conditions for developing soft ecotourism, associated with the segment of active tourism sustained on endogenous resources. Based on the research developed, the proposals presented aim to contribute to an improvement of the sector by responding to the demands of the territory, promoting its affirmation in the international market as a qualified and sustainable destination.
