Portugal espera este ano receber 22 milhões de turistas em território nacional.
O turismo está a crescer mais de 16% no que respeita a receitas, mais de 8% em hóspedes e mais de 7% em dormidas. Os números revelam um crescimento hiperativo e, tal como acontece noutras cidades europeias, este é um momento fraturante para o setor: a par do aumento dos números, crescem as questões sobre os impactos do turismo. Ao mesmo ritmo que avança o investimento privado na reabilitação urbana, surgem as vozes que gritam contra a gentrificação. Fala-se de turistificação, de massificação, de perda de autenticidade nos grandes centros urbanos. Mas também se discute a sustentabilidade da atividade turística.
Em 2016 o Porto recebeu aproximadamente 7 milhões de turistas, no entanto, este ano - ano internacional do turismo sustentável para o desenvolvimento – fica marcado pelo surgimento de vários movimentos que questionam o crescimento do turismo que parece acontecer de forma descontrolada e sem planeamento.
Este trabalho propõe uma reflexão sobre o turismo sustentável em contexto urbano e, numa abordagem mais prática, permite a análise e compreensão da perceção dos impactos do turismo aos olhos dos residentes e trabalhadores do centro histórico do Porto.
O trabalho culmina na apresentação de uma proposta de desenvolvimento sustentável onde são apresentadas várias medidas preventivas que visam garantir a sustentabilidade sociocultural das comunidades do centro do Porto.
This year Portugal expects to receive 22 million tourists in the national territory. Tourism is growing more than 16% in terms of revenues, more than 8% in guests and more than 7% in overnight stays. The numbers show hyperactive growth and, as in other European cities, this is a disruptive moment for the industry: along with rising numbers, questions about the impacts of tourism are growing. At the same pace as private investment in urban rehabilitation, there are voices shouting against gentrification. There is discussion about touristification, massification and loss of authenticity in large urban centers. But the sustainability of tourism activity is also discussed. In 2016 Porto received approximately 7 million tourists, however, this year - the international year of sustainable tourism for development - is remembered by the appearance of several movements that question the growth of tourism that seems to be uncontrolled and unplanned. This paper proposes a reflection on sustainable tourism in an urban context and, in a more practical approach, allows the analysis and understanding of the perception of the impacts of tourism on the Porto resident and workers’s life. The work culminates in the presentation of a model of sustainable development where several preventive measures are presented that aim to guarantee the sociocultural sustainability of the communities of the center of Porto.
