“…Many authors identified the relative strength of a destination through the quality and effectiveness of collaboration, partnership and networking. The relationships established are across disciplines, in the vertical and horizontal supply chain and evidenced through the perceptions of quality and return on investment at the destination (see an example measured longitudinally, in Alberti & Giusti, 2012). The ability to achieve a measure of sustainability though collaboration is a strategic intent and plan in many rural location in Europe (see Hall et al, 2011).…”

The tourism sector has stood out for its enormous capacity for growth on a global scale and holding a relevant role both as a tool for the competitiveness and as a driver of regional development. This profile stems not only from its multiplier effects but also the opportunities susceptible to identification within the scope of offsetting regional disparities in growth and prosperity. The objective of this research consists of evaluating the competitiveness of the regional areas and directorates of tourism in Portugal. We have used primary data (a sample of 446 companies), through a questionnaire aimed at companies displaying the activities characteristic of the World Tourism Organisation satellite account. Through the application of Porter's Diamond Model, we attained at a conceptual model through recourse to the Partial Least Square -Path Modelling technique with the objective of analysing the relationships unfolding among the determinant variables to competitiveness in the tourism sector. Despite the results returned proving clear, we also verify that encapsulating competitiveness proves no easy task given how Portugal reports regions with simultaneously very varied and very specific characteristics.Keywords: Tourism, competitiveness, Porter's diamond, regional tourism area, Portugal. ResumoO sector do turismo destaca-se pela enorme capacidade de crescimento a nível mundial, desempenhando um papel relevante tanto como ferramenta para a competitividade como enquanto motor do desenvolvimento regional. Este perfil decorre não apenas dos seus efeitos multiplicadores, mas também das oportunidades suscetíveis de identificação no âmbito da compensação das disparidades regionais no crescimento e prosperidade. O objetivo desta investigação consiste em avaliar a competitividade das áreas regionais e direções do turismo em Portugal. Utilizamos dados primários (uma amostra de 446 empresas), através de um questionário destinado a empresas que exibem as atividades características da conta satélite da Organização Mundial de Turismo. Através da aplicação do Modelo de Diamante de Porter, alcançamos um modelo conceitual através do recurso à técnica de Partial Least Square -Path Modelling com o objetivo de analisar as relações que se desdobram entre as variáveis determinantes para a competitividade no setor de turismo. Apesar de os resultados retornados serem claros, verificamos também que o encapsulamento da competitividade não se revela uma tarefa fácil, dado o fato de Portugal englobar regiões com características simultaneamente muito variadas e muito específicas.Palavras-chave: Turismo, competitividade, diamante de Porter, área regional de turismo, Portugal.

“…Tourism gets ranked as one of the most important sectors worldwide with the literature testifying to a large consensus about its key role in the progress and competitiveness of many regions (Lazzeretti, Boix, & Capone, 2008;Alberti & Giusti, 2012). Clearly, this activity may also cause negative impacts on the respective tourism destinations such as the deterioration of the surrounding environment and the deformation of local cultural patterns (Cabezas, 2008).…”

The tourism sector has correspondingly attracted a great deal of interest from many researchers with particular focuses falling on tourism management and witnessing exponential growth in the research on this field. Given this, the objective of this current study involves producing a chart of these scientific publications, identifying their intellectual structure and the research trends in tourism management. Our research thus seeks to contribute towards: (i) mapping the intellectual structure of research on tourism management as depicted in the academic literature, (ii) identifying the fundamental contributions made by the tourism management research field, (iii) determining the lines of research constituting its intellectual structure, (iv) identifying the scientific journals with the greatest impact on this area and (v) identifying the geographic distribution of knowledge, by universities and countries, and the collaborative structures.Keywords: Tourism management, marketing, governance, destination management, sustainability, bibliometric analysis. ResumoO turismo tem-se destacado pelo potencial de expansão à escala mundial, desempenhando um papel relevante como ferramenta de competitividade e motor de desenvolvimento regional. Esta temática tem sido alvo de grande interesse por parte de muitos investigadores, com especial incidência na gestão do turismo, verificando-se um crescimento exponencial de investigação nesta área. Face ao exposto, o objetivo do presente estudo é realizar um mapeamento das publicações científicas, estrutura intelectual e tendências de investigação relacionadas com a gestão do turismo. Neste contexto a nossa pesquisa pretende contribuir para o avanço da literatura. Para tal, efetuámos uma análise bibliométrica ao conceito "tourism management" procurando conhecer a investigação realizada. Palavras-chave:Gestão do turismo, marketing, governação, gestão do destino, sustentabilidade, análise bibliométrica.
