dc.description.abstractPurpose | Industrial tourism is an emerging sector highlighting the historical industrial landscape, fostering regional development, community revitalisation, and heritage preservation. Factories, mines, and transport infrastructure can be transformed into museums and interactive spaces. Industrial tourism can also include tours of active industrial sites where production remains the primary focus (Friel et al., 2024; Yan et al., 2024). In this context, this study aims to characterise the industrial heritage of the cross-border region, namely in Terras de Trás-os-Montes (Portugal) and Castilla y León (Spain), in the Douro River region, aiming to showcase opportunities for cross-border tourism development. Methodology/Approach | Firstly, a database was drawn up with the industrial heritage of the two regions under analysis. To do this, a form was drawn up based on previous documents and validated by the team of a project related to industrial tourism. From October 2024 to March 2025, the form was sent to 22 municipalities in Portugal and 80 municipalities in Spain. Ultimately, 1079 industrial heritage sites were registered and statistically analysed to determine their characterisation. Expected Results | Of the 1079 industrial heritage sites, 247 are in Portugal, and 832 are in Spain. The heritage elements were categorised and most related to transport infrastructure (31%), wineries (23.6%), food industries (20.5%), and hydraulic heritage (9.3%). These characteristics align with the attractions offered in the two regions surrounding the River Douro. Portugal presents more transport (34.6%) and wineries (22.7%), and Spain to wineries (26.7%) and food industries (25.1%). It is also clear that most (47.3%) of the heritage sites identified are prepared to receive visitors. This study shows that the categorisation of heritage reflects the richness and historical diversity of the region. Among the main types of heritage identified are wineries, illustrating the strong wine-growing tradition of the Douro River, and transport infrastructure, namely old railway stations and bridges, which highlight witness to the impact of industrialisation on regional connectivity. There are also hydraulic structures, such as water mills and historic dams, which show how water resources have been used for industrial activity over the centuries.eng
