Sport and tourism have evolved through adaptive and transformational processes resulting from the improvement of the quality of life and the increase of free time of the populations to which the Industrial Revolution and the consequent emergence of the leisure and consumption society contributed. Their practices foster human development, sharing cultural goals and healthy lifestyles, as well as promoting peace between nations and people’s quality of life, a source of inspiration for turning dreams into reality.
Sport and tourism have a high cultural, social and economic importance in contemporary society. Whoever operates in their markets is aware that behind the performance of results in tourism, sports spectacle, recreational practice and leisure and recreation, there are highly competent organizations, infrastructures and human resources that provide services whose acceptance is unequivocal.
In view of the emergence of new paradigms in these areas, which support and differentiate tourism destinations, products and markets of great economic importance, we consider it appropriate to hold an international congress that contributes to the discussion on themes related to tourism and sport, from the perspectives of good practices, economic development, social equity and the preservation of nature.
In this context, the School of Education of the Polytechnic Institute of Setúbal with the Faculties of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences and Economy, Business and Tourism of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, will promote on 12, 13 and 14 April 2018 an international congress under the theme “Active Tourism, Sport, Nature and Sustainability”, which will be held at the Noble Auditorium of the Polytechnic Institute of Setúbal.
In this sense, the aim is to promote discussion through reflection, presentation of studies, completed investigations, genuine and symbolic experiences, as well as examples of good academic and professional practices. The relevance of its themes stems from the growing importance of tourism and the diffusion of tourism products resulting from the relationship between sport and tourism, namely active tourism.
The event will be attended by national and international congressmen, researchers, academics, students, mayors, specialists and sports, tourism and leisure professionals, in moments of discussion and sharing of knowledge and good business practices, in a joint effort between academics , mayors and businessmen.
