- Motivations of Youth Tourism: The Case of University Students in the Porto and North RegionPublication . Soeiro De Carvalho, Ana Branca; Guia, Ana; Duarte, Filipe A P; Flores, Ventura Enrique Mota; Fonseca, Susana Maria Salgueiro Rebelo daTourism nowadays allows for the development and enhancement of many places and countries, leading to improvements in economic, social, cultural, and environmental aspects. It is considered to provide unique experiences to both tourists and the local population through the interaction of different cultures. With various tourism products available, it is essential to identify the motivations and attributes that tourists, especially young tourists, seek and possess regarding a destination. Therefore, we aim to identify and understand the profile and motivations of young tourists/visitors, particularly university students. The World Tourism Organization (WTO) classifies motivations for tourism into two main categories: the first is called Rational Type, which includes concepts such as trust, security, savings, tradition, and modernism. The other is called Affective Type, encompassing curiosity, novelty, sympathy, freedom, and friendship. Currently, young people travel to visit friends and family, for studying or exploring new places, and for the cultural heritage of the destinations. Regardless of the various reasons presented, cultural motivations (such as visiting historical monuments) and motivations to explore new places stand out in most of their visits. The present study aims to identify the profile of youth tourism in Portugal, specifically focusing on young individuals attending higher education, who engage in cultural tourism based on their motivations, behaviours, activities, travel data, and accommodation choices. To achieve this objective, a non-probabilistic convenience sample was used, and a questionnaire survey was developed, resulting in 94 completed questionnaires within the time frame defined between October 1 and December 31, 2022.
- The importance of implementing strategic management in third sector organizationsvPublication . Fonseca, Susana; Vaz, Carla; Duarte, Filipe A P; Carvalho, Ana; Guia, AnaEste artigo pretende realçar a importância do uso das ferramentas de gestão estratégica nas Instituições Particulares de Solidariedade Social (IPSS) visando a sua sustentabilidade. Adicionalmente, pretende-se também analisar o perfil dos gestores de topo destas instituições de forma a demonstrar a importância na formação específica de gestão. Primeiramente realizou-se o enquadramento teórico onde se debateram ideias de diferentes autores referentes à economia social, gestão estratégica e suas ferramentas. Seguidamente utilizou-se o método quantitativo com o envio de um questionário a várias IPSS do distrito de Vila Real onde se realçou que o mesmo deveria ser preenchido por gestores de topo. Os resultados obtidos permitiram validar as questões de partida, nomeadamente verificaram-se diversas falhas no que diz respeito a implementação de ferramentas gestão estratégica nas OSFL tendo repercussões na sua sustentabilidade e na forma como as mesmas estão organizadas. Assim, é primordial que estas invistam na capacitação na área da gestão estratégica tendo sempre presente a sua missão.
