- Backpackers’ Space–time Behaviour in a World Heritage City - PortoPublication . Martins, Márcio Ribeiro; Costa, Rui Augusto da; Chim-Miki, Adriana FumiUrban tourism is one of the most popular forms of tourism, but it remains an understudied phenomenon, particularly in terms of tourists’ spatiotemporal behaviour. The aim of this research is to analyse the spatiotemporal behaviour of the backpacker tourists in an urban destination classified as World Heritage. Data collection was done through a questionnaire survey (n = 292) and a GPS App to track backpacker tourist movements (n = 82) during a visit day to Porto, Portugal. All the thematic cartography was developed with QGIS 3.2.0 software. A map with the movements performed by all backpacker tourists; a map with the intensity of the backpacker movements (passages by area, 50 × 50 m) and a map with the distribution of the total length of stay by area (50 × 50 m), allowed the identification of the main hotspots as well as the non-visited territories in Porto urban area. Relevant contributions for destination managers are presented and discussed.
- Porto under pressure: spatial and temporal insights of the accelerated growth of tourismPublication . Martins, Márcio Ribeiro; Costa, Rui Augusto da; Correia, Ricardo; Costa, AdrianoIn 2022, the capacity of tourist accommodation in the municipality of Porto, Portugal, corresponded to 5.7% of the national total, 31.9% of the total for the northern region and 60.9% of the Porto Metropolitan Area (Pordata, 2024). The growth rate of tourist activity, which has been above the national and regional average, is reflected in the 61.8% increase in the number of beds and the 46% increase in the number of overnight stays (Pordata, 2024a) between 2016 and 2022. These significant increases in tourist accommodation and overnight stays have led to an accelerated growth of tourism supply and demand in Porto, significantly impacting this destination.
- Relevance of the Spatiotemporal Behavior of Tourists and Residents to Tourism Planning and Marketing of Successful DestinationsPublication . Fontes, Ruta; Costa, Rui Augusto da; Martins, Márcio Ribeiro; Carvalho, Aida; Correia, RicardoIn the contemporary tourism landscape, the integration of advanced technologies into planning and marketing strategies is becoming increasingly vital for the success and sustainability of destinations. This paper explores the critical role of spatiotemporal behavior analysis—tracking the movements and patterns of tourists and residents over time and space—in enhancing tourism planning and marketing. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as GPS tracking, mobile phone data, and social media geotagging, destinations can gain unprecedented insights into visitor.
- Tourwise Project: The Potential of Incentive Strategies on Tourists’ Space–Time Behaviour in Urban DestinationsPublication . Martins, Márcio Ribeiro; Costa, Rui Augusto da; Correia, Ricardo; Costa, Adriano;Urban tourism has been growing in such a way that it has contributed to increased tourist pressure in some areas—a consequence of the high concentration of visitors in time and space. Since mobility is fundamental to tourism and the knowl-edge of how tourists consume and experience an urban destination is very important for its sustainable management, it is relevant to develop strategies to disperse visitors from places with high concentration to other places without a high concentration. The aim of this article is to understand the impact of incentives on the spatiotem-poral behaviour of visitors, which refers to how tourists move and spend their time in a destination in a historic city classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site and disseminate an innovative research project and discuss its operationalisation and expected results based on the literature review already conducted. Framed in a research model, this project could contribute important to Destination Manage-ment Organisations (DMOs). The use of incentives could help in the more efficient management of tourist flows in more congested areas, contributing to an improve-ment in the quality of life of residents and an improvement in the quality of the visiting experience for tourists.
