O Dark Tourism e o Turismo Literário são dois tipos de turismo que tem motivado o interesse e
consequente estudo por parte da comunidade académica.
O Dark Tourism está maioritariamente relacionado com visitas a locais reais ou recriados onde
ocorreram catástrofes, cenários de sofrimento e morte, de modo a satisfazer um conjunto de
motivações turísticas desde a curiosidade à aprendizagem e ao lazer.
Por outro lado, o Turismo Literário está relacionado com a realização de uma viagem que é inspirada
na associação existente com autores ou com as sua obras literárias.
De alguma forma, estes dois tipos de turismo aparentemente diferentes, convergem
simultaneamente em alguns destinos tornando-os alvo de atração turística. Nestes locais, os
residentes tornam-se ainda mais parte do destino porque são parte da história e da estórias do
mesmo.
A literatura é escassa no estudo desta relação de aspetos literários e dark no mesmo destino pelo
que este trabalho se revela pertinente quer do ponto de vista concetual, quer de implicações práticas
à gestão destes destinos. Por outro lado, a perceção dos residentes é fundamental dado serem parte
do destino, da própria oferta turística e fortemente influenciadores da experiência que os turistas
vivem.
Neste sentido, o presente trabalho pretende analisar a perceção dos residentes de Sintra sobre a
Quinta da Regaleira como um destino turístico que oferece uma experiência de Dark Tourism e de
Turismo Literário. Para isso, desenvolveu-se um instrumento de medida – questionário – de forma a
medir a perceção dos residentes sobre as motivações de procura de Turismo Literário e de Dark
Tourism na Quinta da Regaleira e ainda analisar a perceção sobre os impactos do desenvolvimento
destes tipos de turismo no destino Sintra.
Os resultados obtidos nos 250 inquéritos aplicados aos residentes, estão em linha com a literatura
em turismo existente.
O trabalho apresenta as implicações destes resultados, as limitações do estudo e traça algumas linhas
de investigação futura.
ABSTRACT: Dark Tourism and Literary Tourism are two types of tourism that have motivated interest and consequent study by the academic community. Dark Tourism is mostly related to visits to real or recreated places where catastrophes, suffering, and death scenarios occurred, to satisfy a set of tourist motivations from curiosity to learning and leisure. On the other hand, Literary Tourism is related to making a trip that is inspired by the existing association with authors or their literary works. Somehow, these two seemingly distinct types of tourism converge simultaneously in some destinations, making them the target of tourist attraction. In these places, the residents become even more part of the destination because they are part of its history and stories. The literature is scarce in the study of this relationship between literary and dark aspects of the same destination, so this work is relevant both from a conceptual point of view and with practical implications for the management of these destinations. On the other hand, the perception of residents is fundamental since they are part of the destination, of the tourist offer itself, and strongly influences the experience that tourists live. In this sense, this study aims to analyze the perception of Sintra residents about Quinta da Regaleira as a tourist destination that offers an experience of Dark Tourism and Literary Tourism. To this end, a measuring instrument - a survey - was developed to measure the perception of residents on the motivations for seeking Literary Tourism and Dark Tourism at Quinta da Regaleira and to analyze the perception of the impacts of the development of these types of tourism in the destination Sintra. The results obtained from 250 surveys applied to residents are in line with the existing literature on tourism. The paper presents the implications of these results, and the limitations of the study and outlines some lines of future research.
