“…The sustainable management of natural and cultural heritage sites requires conciliation between conservation and the new economic and social function triggered by tourism. The practice of responsible tourism is essential, and the good use of heritage is the best guarantee of its conservation [51]. Providing accessibility to heritage sites is considered to be a way to promote the sustainable management of those regions.…”

Montesinho Natural Park is one of the largest Portuguese natural protected areas, presenting good biodiversity and a cultural heritage with a strong connection to the territory and its people. It constitutes a low-density territory, characterized by a human and social landscape based on community practices, such as joint aid and the community use of goods and means of agricultural production, which have contributed to the construction of the “transmontana” identity and to the richness of the habitats. The promotion of the sustainable development of this low-density rural region demands the understanding of its specificities and an appropriate approach to grasp its challenges and develop effective management tools, allowing to preserve and exploit the region’s potential from various perspectives. The purpose of this article is to develop an analytical model using a literature review and a survey of the region’s specificities. This analytical model intends to provide the basis for designing and assessing sustainable development solutions, increasing local entrepreneurship and community empowerment through regional dynamism, with a focus on environment and heritage preservation, universal tourism accessibility, collective memory and endogenous product development. The suggested model adopts an interdisciplinary perspective and stresses that, in order to ensure that the new initiatives will contribute to the territory’s sustainable development, they should be scrutinized by asking four main questions: Is the initiative promoting the rural development of the territory through the creation of synergies between agroforestry and tourism activities? Is the initiative promoting an inclusive and sustainable tourism that is based on the territory’s resources? Are heritage and collective memory being preserved and valued through the initiative? Is the initiative promoting the empowerment of local communities?

“…Regarding the climate, and in particular its Mediterranean characteristics, the absolutely dry, hot summers are the main reason for coastal tourism all around the Mediterranean basin and therefore this country too. However, on the Portuguese coast, the south-facing coastal areas of the Algarve and, less importantly, the Setúbal coast and the Costa del Sol, from Cascais to Lisbon, have better weather conditions than the long, west-facing coast, where morning fog and fresh winds from the north or north-east at the end of the afternoon affect beach going and bathing, lessening the value of the beaches (Cravidão and Cunha 1991). The landscape and its natural values (geomorphology, abundant water, a varied patchwork of plants) form an important resource for tourist activities on the coast and in the interior of the country, where many protected areas (especially the Peneda-Gerez National Park and the various Natural Parks) invite tourists or mere passers-by to enjoy the natural values.…”

“…O final do milénio tem sido caracterizado por profundas mudanças sócio-culturais que passam por novos conceitos de tempo, novas estruturas no mundo do trabalho, por novos comportamentos demográficos, novos conceitos de lazer (Gama, 1988 e *Adaptado do texto com o mesmo título publicado na Revista Infogeo, da Associação Portuguesa de Geografos, 1998. e, também, por novas formas de praticar desporto (Jacinto & Malta, 1993) ou de fazer turismo (Cravidão & Cunha, 1991e 1996. descobrem-se outros percursos, reinventam-se itinerários, exploram-se recursos que se mantiveram à margem do consumo habitual do território.…”
