Abstract(s)
A prática do turismo na terceira idade tem vindo a destacar-se, sendo uma referência resolutiva para o bem-estar e satisfação do idoso, contribuindo para uma melhor qualidade de vida e condição de saúde, física e psicológica.
As Organizações de Economia Social (OES) representam um papel determinante na promoção do envelhecimento ativo, especificamente através da implementação de práticas turísticas estruturadas, que não só favorecem a inclusão, como também promovem a sustentabilidade social. Neste sentido, a presente dissertação tem como principal objetivo analisar o impacto do turismo no envelhecimento ativo dos idosos institucionalizados, explorando a sua relevância para a qualidade de vida e o bem-estar dos utentes das OES.
A nível metodológico, adotou-se um estudo baseado na aplicação de questionários a uma amostra de 102 utentes institucionalizados em Estruturas Residenciais para Pessoas Idosas (ERPI) e Centros de Dia do concelho de Sátão, bem como a sete Diretoras Técnicas das respetivas OES. Os resultados, obtidos através dos questionários aplicados entre os meses de Dezembro e Janeiro de 2024/2025, evidenciam que a prática do turismo nestas instituições é percecionada como um fator positivo para a estimulação cognitiva, social e emocional dos idosos, promovendo a interação social, o bem-estar psicológico e a quebra da rotina diária
Esta investigação contribui para o debate académico acerca da importância do turismo no contexto do envelhecimento ativo, de forma a reforçar a necessidade de práticas inovadoras que promovam um envelhecimento mais digno, autónomo e participativo.
The practice of tourism in old age has been increasingly highlighted, serving as a key factor for the well-being and satisfaction of the elderly, contributing to a better quality of life and both physical and psychological health.

In this context, the main objective of this dissertation is to analyze the impact of tourism on active aging for institutionalized elderly individuals, exploring its relevance to the quality of life and well-being of the users of SEOs. From a methodological perspective, a study was conducted through the application of questionnaires to a sample of 102 institutionalized users in Residential Structures for the Elderly and Day Centers in the municipality of Sátão, as well as to seven Technical Directors of the respective SEOs.

This research contributes to the academic debate on the importance of tourism in the context of active aging, aiming to emphasize the need for innovative practices that promote a more dignified, autonomous, and participatory aging process,
