Sustentabilidade no setor hoteleiro: Estudo de Caso na região autónoma da Madeira
Get PDFDespite recognizing that the Hotel Industry has been one of the main sectors in adopting initiatives within the scope of the Circular Economy (C.E.), it is common knowledge that Hotel Units generate significant amounts of waste, often avoidable waste, with records very far of EU waste reference values that point to a target of 0.6 kg per guest/night. Much of this waste is treated as garbage when it could be reused, either by the hotels themselves or by other users.The recurring scarcity of certain resources and products, added to the risk in the climate and environmental sphere, means that the planning, management and control of the quality of ecosystems will be as detailed and efficient as possible. The Autonomous Region of Madeira (RAM), as an isolated territory with scarce resources, has among its priorities understanding the fragility of island ecosystems, which tend to be highly sensitive and exposed to external risks and threats.Considering the economic dependence of the tourism sector, the aim is to adopt more sustainable and efficient models. Based on responses from around 1000 questionnaires, collected on Madeira Island, attitudes, practices, concerns and degree of acceptance of measures to be implemented at the level of the destination and the hotel establishment were identified. In an exercise centered on data, and in an objective statistical treatment of the same, it is concluded that adopting the “CE” paradigm implies sacrifices (changing ingrained habits, reducing the consumption of certain resources), redefining expectations and accessing different experiences, more sustainable and less user of scarce resources. The study offers some notes for reflection, namely what type of cooperation and synergies can be developed with other sectors and interested parties, suggesting a path towards a resilient and sustainable tourism ecosystem.Apesar de se reconhecer que a Indústria Hoteleira tem sido um dos principais setores na adoção de iniciativas no âmbito da Economia Circular (E.C.), é do conhecimento geral que as Unidades Hoteleiras geram quantidades significativas de resíduos, com frequência resíduos evitáveis, com registos muito longe dos valores de referência em matéria de resíduos da EU que apontam para um objetivo de 0,6 kg por hóspede/noite. Muitos desses resíduos são tratados como lixo quando poderiam ser reaproveitados, pelos próprios hotéis ou por outros utilizadores.
A recorrente escassez de determinados recursos e produtos, somada ao risco na esfera climática e ambiental, fazem com que o planeamento, gestão e controlo da qualidade dos ecossistemas venha a ser o mais detalhado e eficiente possível. A Região Autônoma da Madeira (RAM), como território isolado e com recursos escassos, regista entre as suas prioridades, compreender a fragilidade dos ecossistemas insulares, que tendem a ser altamente sensíveis e expostos a riscos e ameaças externas.
Considerando a dependência económica do setor do turismo, pretende-se adotar modelos mais sustentáveis e eficientes. Baseado em respostas de cerca de 1000 questionários, recolhidos na Ilha da Madeira, identificaram-se atitudes, práticas, preocupações e grau de aceitação de medidas a implementar ao nível do destino e do estabelecimento hoteleiro. Num exercício centrado nos dados, e num tratamento estatístico objetivo dos mesmos conclui-se que adoção do paradigma “EC” implica sacrifícios (alteração de hábitos enraizados, diminuição do consumo de certos recursos) a redefinição das expectativas e o acesso a experiências diferentes, mais sustentáveis e menos utilizadoras de recursos escassos. O estudo oferece algumas notas para reflexão, nomeadamente que tipo de cooperação e sinergias podem ser desenvolvidas com outros setores e partes interessadas, sugerindo um caminho para seguir rumo a um ecossistema turístico resiliente e sustentável
Enabling Tourism 5.0: How a new digital era can transform tourism information systems
Get PDFObjectives | Given the rise of Industry 5.0, the concept of Tourism 4.0 is currently evolving into Tourism 5.0, starting to reveal unseen possibilities and perspectives in the field of tourism management and services (Gomes, Lopes, & Ferreira, 2023). The scope of Tourism 5.0 is connected to technological impacts with social sustainability (Gretzel, Sigala, Xiang, & Koo, 2015; Neuhofer, Buhalis, & Ladkin, 2012). Essentially, technological drivers are redefining the travel industry\u27s boundaries by improving consumer experiences, and service quality and transforming current technologies, such as tourism information systems (Bulchand-Gidumal, 2022). Studying how technology in tourism interacts with society to promote social sustainability is the main purpose of the 5.0 tourism paradigm. Concerning social aspects, technology may be used to improve accessibility conditions, therefore accessible tourism and Tourism 5.0 go hand in hand (Teixeira, Teixeira, Eusébio, Silva, & Teixeira, 2021). However, studies on the Tourism 5.0 paradigm are still few in the literature, despite the trend of innovation across tourism (Madsen & Slåtten, 2023; Mukherjee et al., 2023). Moreover, the literature about the relationship between Tourism 5.0 and accessible tourism is very scarce. Therefore, this paper intends to increase knowledge in this field examining how Tourism 5.0 may contribute to the development of a more accessible and sustainable tourism industry. In particular, this study’s objective is to analyze the transformation of tourism information systems, and understand how technological drivers can improve existing solutions, thus enabling Tourism 5.0.
Methodology | To achieve this goal, a case study analysis is performed. This case study involves understanding how an innovative accessible tourism information system (access@tour by action) can benefit from incorporating technological advancements related to Industry 5.0 in terms of accessibility and sustainability. The access@tour by action is a mobile app developed for the accessible tourism market, supporting information management in the context of accessibility (Teixeira, Teixeira, & Eusébio, 2022). The relationship between technological drivers and their integration into the access@tour by action app offers a comprehensive view of how technological advancements can bolster accessible tourism. Essentially a literature research was used to identify the technological drivers of Industry 5.0 with the potential to improve the accessibility of information systems. Then, it is presented a proposal for integrating these drivers with the access@tour by action, taking into account the potential of each driver and the needs of accessible tourism.
Main results and contributions | The in-depth exploration of integrating technological drivers with accessible tourism, specifically with a case study on access@tour by action, revealed the significant potential of technology in establishing more accessibility. The technological drivers, such as 3D Printing, Cyber-physical systems, Cloud technologies, the Internet of Things, Big Data Analysis Tools, Cognitive Computing, Virtual reality, Radiofrequency identifiers, Augmented reality, and Artificial intelligence, provide unique improvements that can revamp the app\u27s usability, adaptability, and information/communication spread. These connections have the power to improve and tailor user experiences, guaranteeing high levels of customization and real-time adaptation to meet the diverse demands of people with special needs, and also having the capability to allow for more sustainable tourism.
Limitations | There are some limitations to the study that need to be addressed. This study provided only a particular view of how a specific platform can evolve to promote more accessibility and sustainability. To better estimate the technological impacts of Tourism 5.0 on tourism platforms, it may be necessary to analyze platforms with other types of functionalities (e.g. wayfinding).
Conclusions | The incorporation of emerging technologies in accessible tourism apps like access@tour by action has the potential to transform the experience for travelers in terms of accessibility and sustainability. However, the journey does not end with integration; it demands continuous refinement and research to overcome limitations and evolve with the dynamic technological landscape. By embracing technological advancements and integrating them thoughtfully, we can make strides toward more inclusive, accessible, and sustainable tourism
Making communities a central part of tourism’s future: the Maceira – Embaixadores D’Aldeia project
Get PDFObjectives | This project defined as main objectives, the following: (1) promote sustainable development by prioritizing the preservation of the local environment and cultural heritage; (2) preserve its cultural, heritage and tourist identity and simultaneously developing solid strategies to promote tourism; (3) offer an accessible and inclusive village community tourism concept, linked to the initiatives and experiences of the resident community; (4) and integrate the tourist offer with the heritage reality of the village in particular and the region in general, by offering experiences based on the observation of the built historical heritage, interaction with cultural heritage and production.
Methodology | This project was implemented from September 10, 2020 to June 30, 2023 in Maceira, in the municipality of Fornos de Algodres. Based on this case study, general indicators were defined, specifically with regard to the level of participation, characterization of participants, satisfaction rate, occupancy of tourist accommodation establishments and the number of entities associated with the project. Specific indicators were also defined to each activity in order to define metrics that would make it possible to quantify and gauge the level of implementation of the project and its real impacts. The methodology adopted was quantitative and qualitative, using two types of data collection sources: primary, by the application of questionnaires in person and interviews to the participants and stakeholders, and secondary, including literature review and the analysis of pre-existing data in official documents and sources.
Main Results and Contributions | A total of 27 households were directly involved, with a total of 44 individuals, spread across various age groups (children, young people, adults and seniors), and in this sense, intergenerationality was promoted within the scope of the activities, bringing multiple benefits among the beneficiaries. As planned, all the work carried out had an indirect impact on other individuals, namely the rest of the population living in Maceira and neighboring towns, the visitors who were involved in various activities, and the various institutional partners. The implementation rate of the proposed activities was over 95%. This project had a total of 27 entities providing services to the project, in addition to 5 entities as social investors, thus broadening the scope of the impact. According to the analysis of the results from the collection methods applied in the various activities, the level of satisfaction of the participants and the community was very high, a factor that reinforces the commitment made. This project fostered the transmission of local culture and heritage, enhancing and preserving it, while also promoting local development, especially in the tourism sector. The aim was to focus on genuine tourism and experiences, where visitors are invited to take part in the daily lives of the ambassadors/residents.
Limitations | The main limitation occurred during the project’s duration period was the COVID-19 pandemic. To overcome this threat, those responsible for implementing the project were resilient and showed a high level of adaptability, restructuring the initial planning and creating very creative solutions that added value to the project. The fact that the project had a very limited territorial scope was also a limitation.
Conclusions | UNWTO is supporting communities as they prepare to welcome visitors back and realize the potential of tourism to kickstart recovery and drive sustainable and inclusive growth. This project has created a base of work and outreach that must be leveraged in the future, because this, like any project, must not stop or stagnate. The experience and knowledge of the Ambassadors, as well as that of the project promoter and its partners, should be used to continue the work. The active participation of the village\u27s population, i.e. the Ambassadors, the main figures in this project. The village\u27s most valuable asset is undoubtedly its people, who have the knowledge and wisdom, the experience and the experiences that are important to share with those who visit Maceira. This participation has given the Ambassadors a great sense of belonging. It was quite clear that the local community was particularly motivated to take part in the various activities, which led to a clear increase in their self-esteem. The presence of project content on different digital communication channels has made the project more visible and known, contributing to its success, and the participants in these actions have come to value their community and their contribution to the project even more.

Tourism and Innovations in Transitional Countries of the Adriatic-Ionian Region
Get PDFObjectives | The challenges tourism faces today call for innovative solutions, not only for achieving economic growth but for ensuring sustainability, enhancing visitor experiences, market development, local community management, etc. Innovation is defined as “a new or improved product or process (or combination thereof) that differs significantly from the unit’s previous products or processes and that has been made available to potential users (product) or brought into use by the unit (process)” (OECD, 2018: 20). A usual prerequisite for innovation development is available funding. However, based on the analysis of the projects reporting tourism innovations funded by the EU in the Adriatic-Ionian region (AIR), the objective of this study is to show that they do not necessarily depend on financial incentives. Paradoxically, tourism may even hinder innovative development as it provides stable income thus impacting the lack of motivation for disruptive (radical) innovations.
Methodology | Research has been performed using mixed methodology (quantitative and qualitative) throughout 2020-2023. Desk research included literature review to provide the theoretical and statistical background as well as to analyze projects funded by various EU funds in the Adriatic-Ionian region (AIR) to detect the number, types of tourism innovations reported, and their real innovative nature. 313 projects were detected, but only those reporting innovative solutions (no. = 88) were further considered. Summaries of those projects were further analyzed and categorized in four groups: 1. tourism destination management innovations; 2. business models and sustainable tourism products innovations; 3. marketing-related sustainable tourism innovations; and 4. multiple types of innovations. The geographical distribution of the projects and the invested budget was also analyzed. Further on, we surveyed national coordinators of the European Union Strategy for the Adriatic-Ionian Region (EUSAIR) to test their knowledge, opinions and attitudes towards innovations in sustainable tourism. They serve as main country contact points in charge with the national coordination of the EUSAIR, and their knowledge on tourism innovation is deemed to be an asset for the Strategy implementation. The survey was based on 22 questions of mostly closed type. Results were drawn using the Google survey analysis tool. Finally, further Internet search for additional innovations in the transitional countries of the AIR (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Northern Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia) was done to detect non-EU funded tourism innovations. The Boolean approach was used, and the following search terms were applied (“tourism”) AND (“innovations”) AND (“country” - Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Northern Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia). Further, the search was widened to get a more specific type of innovations including terms such as (“hotels”), (“tourism tours”), (“tourism products”). These were done both in English and in the local language, where applicable. The detected innovative projects were briefly analyzed for the purpose of serving as illustrative examples. The desk research results were put in relation with the survey results analysis and finally complemented with the results of the Internet search.
Main Results and Contributions | The results show that the greatest share of the EU funded projects falls into the category of tourist destination management (42). Projects funding business models and sustainable tourism products innovations follow (28), as well as projects funding marketing-related tourism innovations (15). Only 3 projects were funded due to their multiple types tourism innovations. However, a deeper analysis showed that the listed innovations do not always correspond to the theoretical definition of innovation; rather, when projects are applied for EU funding, they promise innovative solutions, but with questionable outputs. This possibly shows a poor understanding of the nature of innovation as some projects fail to deliver the funded innovations putting the justification of EU investments in such projects at stake. Further on, geographical distribution of the funded projects is mainly seen in the EU countries of the EUSAIR area with non-EU countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Northern Macedonia and Serbia) substantially lagging behind, with the exception of Albania. Further on, the results of the survey showed a relatively poor level of EUSAIR national coordinators’ knowledge on tourism innovations which points to the lack of their training on the topic as well as the poorly defined funding criteria in support of innovative projects. The results of the desk research and surveys, thus showed that although funds exist to support innovations, they do not always guarantee really innovative solutions. Finally, Internet search for additional innovative tourism innovations in the transitional countries of the region showed that innovative projects exist independently from the EU funds, although they are not abundant. Thus, although important, the study found that financial incentives do not warrant development of innovations, which is possibly dependent on other factors such as knowledge, creativity and motivation, clear policies. These factors, however are yet to be researched further and were not part of this study. The study, however, showed that clear policies and understanding of the true nature of innovation are an asset in the support of innovations.
Limitations | Limitations of the study are primarily seen in the lack of in-depth analysis of the projects performed while focusing only on their summaries, which could possibly reveal more information. Also, relatively poor responsiveness of the survey respondents somewhat impacts the study results. Future studies may tend to dig deeper in the EU funded projects’ analysis in the area. As well, further search and analysis of tourism innovations in non-EU funded projects in transitional countries of the area was not exhaustive and served only to illustrate that innovations can be done independently of large investments; rather, a number of other factors may influence their development. Future studies may explore it in more depth.
Conclusions | Innovative tourism solutions in the Adriatic-Ionian region exist but financial injections provided through the EU funding do not warrant innovative solutions in tourism. Innovations are often developed even without substantial financial support and public policies, and are rather depending on creativity and motivation due to e.g. scarcity. It disputes Gibbs’, Neckermann’s and Siemroth’s (2014) findings that financial rewards foster quality innovative ideas of individual employees. On the other hand, it is in line with the study by Jelinčić (2017: 48) who showed that inflexible public policies and lack of funding for innovations, such as in the Cuban, engineer state policy model may also foster innovations as “the scarcity of resources led people to improvisation”. This leads to “an unintentional birth to innovations … from the need to strive in everyday life”. Therefore, tourism, yielding relatively stable revenue and ensuring economic benefit for the stakeholders involved, may thus even hamper the development of innovation as it provides no motivation to innovate.

Descrição de Propostas didáticas com orientação CTS promotoras do Pensamento Crítico: Uma Revisão Sistemática da Literatura
Get PDFThis article is based on a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) on Science-Technology-Society (STS) Education that promotes Critical Thinking (CT), with the research question “What frames of reference support didactic proposals with STS orientation that promote CT?”. The objectives are to characterize the perspective of the teaching and learning process (teaching/role of the Teacher, learning/role of the Student, conception of: Science, the scientist, Technology) and to explore the elements of implementation of the teaching and learning process (strategies, teaching activities, resources and materials, classroom environment). Search terms were defined in the SCOPUS, Web of Science, RCAAP databases, inclusion/exclusion criteria following the PRISMA protocol. A corpus of 12 articles was constituted using content analysis. Results reveal the need to build, validate and implement new STS/CT didactic resources in the classroom context. These should: (i) be designed and implemented in a real context of science education; (ii) result from a reflective process of development and improvement of didactic proposals; (iii) intentionally and explicitly promote the students’ CT and (iv) involve all participants in the development of didactic proposals. This article contributes to the discussion/reflection on the guidelines and specifications for the development of STS/CT didactic proposals, operationalization and implementation, forming conscious, participatory citizens, with scientific literacy (SL), in a democratic society.Este artículo se basa en una Revisión Sistemática de la Literatura (RSL) sobre Educación Ciencia-Tecnología-Sociedad (CTS) que promueve el Pensamiento Crítico (PC), con la pregunta de investigación «¿Qué marcos de referencia apoyan propuestas didácticas con orientación CTS que promuevan el PC?”. Los objetivos son caracterizar la perspectiva del proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje (enseñanza/rol del Profesor, aprendizaje/rol del Estudiante, concepción de: la Ciencia, el científico, la Tecnología) y explorar los elementos de implementación del proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje (estrategias, actividades didácticas, recursos y materiales, ambiente de aula). Los términos de búsqueda se definieron en las bases de datos SCOPUS, Web of Science, RCAAP, criterios de inclusión/exclusión siguiendo el protocolo PRISMA. Se constituyó un corpus de 12 artículos mediante análisis de contenido. Los resultados revelan la necesidad de construir, validar e implementar nuevos recursos didácticos CTS/PC en el contexto del aula. Éstas deberían: i) diseñarse y aplicarse en un contexto real de enseñanza de las ciencias; (ii) resultar de un proceso reflexivo de desarrollo y perfeccionamiento de propuestas didácticas; (iii) promover de forma intencionada y explícita el PC de los alumnos y (iv) implicar a todos los participantes en la elaboración de propuestas didácticas. Este artículo contribuye a la discusión/reflexión sobre las directrices y especificaciones para el desarrollo de propuestas didácticas CTS/PC, operacionalización e implementación, para la formación de ciudadanos conscientes, participativos, con alfabetización científica (AC), en una sociedad democrática.Este artigo assenta numa Revisão Sistemática de Literatura (RSL), sobre Educação em Ciência-Tecnologia-Sociedade (CTS) promotora do Pensamento crítico (PC), tendo como questão de investigação “Que quadros de referência sustentam propostas didáticas com orientação CTS promotoras do PC?”. Os objetivos consistem em caracterizar a perspetiva do processo de ensino e aprendizagem (ensino/papel do Professor, aprendizagem/papel do Aluno, conceção de: a Ciência, o cientista, a Tecnologia) e explorar os elementos de concretização do processo de ensino e aprendizagem (estratégias, atividades de ensino, recursos e materiais, ambiente de sala de aula). Definiram-se termos de pesquisa nas bases de dados SCOPUS, Web of Science, RCAAP, critérios de inclusão/exclusão seguindo o protocolo PRISMA. Constituiu-se corpus de 12 artigos recorrendo à análise de conteúdo. Resultados revelam a necessidade de construir, validar e implementar novos recursos didáticos CTS/PC, em contexto de sala de aula. Estes deverão: (i) ser concebidos e implementados em contexto real de educação em ciências; (ii) resultar de um processo reflexivo de desenvolvimento e melhoria das propostas didáticas; (iii) promover, intencional e explicitamente, o PC dos alunos e (iv) envolver todos os participantes no desenvolvimento das propostas didáticas. Este artigo contribui para a discussão/reflexão acerca das orientações e especificações de desenvolvimento de propostas didáticas CTS/PC, operacionalização e implementação, para a formação de cidadãos conscientes, participativos, com literacia científica (LC), numa sociedade democrática
