Abstract(s)
Tourism has developed in the last decade (2011/2020), allowing the growth of different destinations. Therefore,
the main objective of this article is to understand the main characteristics of tourism supply and demand in
Portugal and identify its importance and contribution to the Portuguese economy, through the comparison of data
from 2019 with that from 2022 (pre-Covid-19 and post-Covid-19).
In this article, we opted for a qualitative methodology, in a systematic review of the literature, and a quantitative
methodology, in the analysis and interpretation of the various official statistics on Portuguese tourism.
Regarding the results, the importance of the sector can be seen in the comparison of overnight stays from January
to September of 2019 and 2022, where there was an increase in demand. Regarding revenues in the same period
(January to September), it shows that in 2022 these were 14.4 billion euros, while those recorded in 2019 were
12.66 billion euros. In 2022 it was found that the United Kingdom is the country that stands out most in terms of
international overnight stays in Portugal, and thus the one that contributed most to tourism revenue.
We conclude that there was, in 2022 as compared to 2019, a significant growth in revenue that shows a positive
relationship between the tourism sector and its impact on the Portuguese economy.
