Abstract(s)

The growing importance of informational heritage as a value generator agent and as a distinctive identity is, nowadays, an essential element for creating, distinguishing and enrich- ing tourism activities based upon the realities of the local heritage. Indeed tourism is now seen as strategic for local development. The School of Management and Industrial Studies (Vila do Conde) of Polytechnic Institute of Porto was contacted by Vila do Conde Parish Council in order to develop a joint project to preserve the identity and cultural connection of Vila do Conde to the fishing activity and its fishermen, who have in Caxinas and Poça da Barca one of the largest fishing communities in the country, through the creation of a cultural and tourism project "the Fisherman’s Route". This is a multifaceted project that aims to collect, recover and recreate in- formation, traditions as well as inventory assets covering diverse forms of Heritage.
