Abstract(s)
O turismo religioso é considerado uma das formas mais antigas de turismo e vem
crescendo ano após ano, se tornando um dos motivos exponenciais que levam as pessoas
a se deslocarem em todo o mundo.
A acessibilidade também tem sido um tema recorrente e vem ganhando força e
visibilidade em todas as esferas da sociedade, exigindo uma adaptação dos espaços para
atender a esta demanda.
Neste trabalho, optou-se por unir essas duas temáticas, que são igualmente
relevantes, mas que não costumam aparecer interligadas, e devido à insuficiência de
estudos acerca deste tema. Espera-se contribuir para um melhor conhecimento da
acessibilidade com aplicação ao turismo religioso, possibilitando também a continuação
deste estudo, já que se trata de um tema muito amplo.
Para tal finalidade foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica e posteriormente uma
pesquisa exploratória com a aplicação de entrevistas e observação direta, realizadas no
Santuário de Fátima, para analisar as potencialidades e deficiências do mesmo tanto na
visão dos seus visitantes, quanto na visão dos seus responsáveis.
O Santuário de Fátima foi escolhido devido à sua relevância nacional e mundial.
O estudo focou-se nos deficientes que utilizam cadeiras de rodas para se locomover,
idosos com bengalas e, ademais, as grávidas, que apesar de não serem consideradas
deficientes, apresentam uma certa limitação que também não permite grandes
deslocamentos de forma ágil e confortável.
Após análise dos dados recolhidos foi possível concluir que o destino está apto a
receber visitantes com tais limitações e, principalmente, que estas pessoas estão satisfeitas
com o acolhimento e oferta estrutural encontrada, para além de indicarem a visita a outras
pessoas nas mesmas condições, o que nos leva a crer que a questão da acessibilidade pode
ser um fator decisivo na escolha do destino e ajuda a elevar a importância do Santuário
de Fátima no panorama do turismo religioso mundial.
Religious tourism is considered one of the oldest forms of tourism and has been growing year after year, becoming one of the exponential reasons that lead people to move around the world. Accessibility has also been a recurring theme and has been gaining strength and visibility in all spheres of society, demanding an adaptation of spaces to meet this demand. In this work, it was decided to unite these two themes, which are equally relevant, but do not usually appear interconnected and due to insufficient studies on this topic, it is expected to contribute to a better understanding of accessibility with application to religious tourism, also enabling the continuation of this study, as it is a very broad topic. For this purpose, a bibliographic research was carried out and later an exploratory research with the application of interviews and direct observation, carried out in the Sanctuary of Fátima, to analyze the potentialities and deficiencies of the same in the vision of its visitors, as in the vision of those responsible. The Sanctuary of Fátima was chosen due to its great national relevance and worldwide and the study focused on people with disabilities who use wheelchairs to locomotion, elderly people with canes and, moreover, pregnant women, who despite not being considered deficient, present a certain limitation that also does not allow great displacements in an agile and comfortable way. After analyzing the collected data, it was possible to conclude that the destination is able to receive visitors with such limitations and, mainly, that these people are satisfied with the reception and structural offer found, in addition to indicate the visit to other people under the same conditions, which leads us to believe that the issue of accessibility can be a decisive factor in the choice of destination and helps to raise the importance of the Sanctuary in the panorama of world religious tourism.
