Este artigo procura analisar a evolução da preferência da procura turística nas diferentes
sub-regiões que integram a Região Norte de Portugal. Para este efeito calculou-se o Índice de
Preferência comparando o destino do Litoral face ao Interior, no período de 1997 a 2001 e
tendo como enquadramento teórico a Teoria do Sentimento do Investidor.
Desta análise concluiu-se que, o Índice de Preferência indicia que os turistas preferem o
destino turístico Litoral ao Interior, no período considerado. Quando se procedeu ao cálculo
do Índice de Preferência tendo em conta a nacionalidade dos turistas, verificou-se que tanto os
estrangeiros como os nacionais têm revelado uma progressiva preferência pelo Interior em
detrimento do Litoral, indiciando que o Interior tem vindo a exercer uma crescente atracção sobre os mesmos, pelo que o Litoral poderá estar a perder competitividade face ao Interior.
This article aims to analyse the evolution of preferences regarding tourism demand in the various sub regions that make up the Northern Region of Portugal. To achieve this, the Preferential Index has been calculated using the Investor Sentiment Theory as a theoretical framework. This analysis has done through a comparison of Coastal and Inland destinations, during the period of 1997 to 2001. The conclusion reached after this analysis is that the Preferential Index enables us to state that tourists prefer Coastal to Inland destinations for this period. Nevertheless after calculating the Preferential Index bearing in mind the tourists’ nationality, there has been a progressive preference of both national and foreign tourists towards Inland destinations in detriment of Coastal areas. In other words, it is possible to assume that competitiveness of Coastal regions is diminishing in relation to the Inland.
