Publicação Acesso Restrito ‘Emotional’ female managers: How gendered roles influence tourism management discourse2017-12 - Costa, Carlos; Bakas, Fiona; Breda, Zélia; Durão, MaríliaDrawing on recent research conducted in Portugal, male and female tourism managers' perceptions of how gender roles influence managerial discourse are analyzed. The data, gathered through focus groups, is questioned from the ontological position that participants represent gendered economic subjectivities and hence participant accounts illustrate the ways in which gender roles influence tourism management discourse. This paper presents the multiple, context-specific issues arising from thematic analysis of focus group transcripts, using WebQda qualitative analysis software. Focusing on tourism managers' expressions of what comprises desired managerial characteristics, the ways in which gender roles influence the norms surrounding tourism management discourse are analyzed. Results show that managerial characteristics associated with women and femininity, such as emotionality, are progressively being incorporated into managerial ideals, but that gender roles connecting femininity to caring roles continue their influence. The social agitation caused by these complex interactions encourages conceptual progress in tourism management discourse. This paper contributes to a more holistic representation of today's economic reality by presenting an in-depth investigation into how gender roles relate to wider social, economic and political considerations within the context of tourism management in Portugal.Publicação Acesso Aberto Migrant work in tourism and hospitality: A systematic literature review [abstract]2025-07-08 - Veríssimo, Medéia; Durão, Marília; Ramazanova, MakhabbatThis study aims to systematically review existing literature on migrant labour within the tourism and hospitality sectors, identifying key research themes and gaps to inform future investigations. [...]Publicação Acesso Aberto Experiential marketing and purchase intention of ecotourism experiences: Z-Generation case2024-03-11 - Nogueira, Sónia; Durão, Marília; Pacheco, Luís Miguel; Ramazanova, Makhabbat; Carvalho, João M. S.Consumers are more willing to invest in experiences with relaxation and stress reduction. Tourism, a pivotal driver of the economy, and its associated activities hold significant potential for experiential marketing. It is particularly evident in the growing interest of tourists in natural settings and experiences related to nature, fostering an environment conducive to the expansion of ecotourism. Consequently, an exploratory study was conducted with the following research question: How does experiential marketing relate to consumer satisfaction, loyalty, word-of-mouth, and intention to purchase ecotourism experiences, explicitly focusing on Generation Z? - The results indicate positive correlations between experiential marketing and satisfaction constructs, consequently establishing a link between satisfaction, loyalty, word-of-mouth promotion, and purchase intention. Thus, the findings provide valuable insights into the behaviors of ecotourism consumers and how experiential marketing can facilitate the development of more effective marketing strategies to enhance tourist satisfaction.Publicação Acesso Aberto Employment situation of tourism graduates working in and outside the tourism sector2013 - Costa, Carlos; Breda, Zélia; Malek, Anahita; Durão, MaríliaThis paper looks at the employment situation of Portuguese tourism graduates, particularly to the differences between the work situation of those employed in the tourism sector and those who are working outside this sector. Data was collected through an online questionnaire applied to the Portuguese tourism graduates in Portugal, comparing their salaries, working hours and schedules, contractual situation, hierarchical position and job satisfaction. Results evidenced that the tourism sector is not taking advantage of the available qualified human resources. Moreover, data suggests that tourism graduates employed outside the tourism sector are facing poorer working situations than those graduates employed within this industry.Publicação Acesso Aberto Aprendizagem ativa na área do Turismo: Potencialidades da aplicação da metodologia Scrum2021-12-01 - Oliveira, Isabel; Bakas, Fiona; Durão, MaríliaDesenvolvida por Jeff Sutherland e Ken Schwaber, com base nos princípios da metodologia Agile, a metodologia Scrum (MS) é uma reconhecida framework, amplamente utilizada no desenvolvimento de produtos e serviços.

This study is applied to the collective brand Natural.PT, in Portugal, using a case study approach. The study adds value to the existing literature insofar as it explores what the process of creating a collective brand involves, what benefits and/or difficulties, and what dynamics can be developed to promote this collective brand to the tourism players operating in protected areas. To this end, a qualitative study based on documentary analysis and interviews with key informants was developed, covering the different dimensions of protected areas management and collective brands. Natura.PT case is at an early stage and the main conclusions point to the need for promotion for this collective brand and a higher advantage for stakeholders allowing more decisions according to their personal and business interests and due to the fact of operating in a protected area.Publicação Acesso Restrito Social Media research in the Hotel Industry: A bibliometric analysis2023-06-06 - Moraes, Michelle; Durão, Marília; Veríssimo, MedéiaSocial media has become an indispensable marketing tool for tourism and hospitality, emerging as critical platforms for interaction and communication between brands and consumers.
