Abstract
O vinho como um produto cultural tornou-se o principal tema do desenvolvimento turístico na maioria dos territórios vitivinícolas, no Mundo e particularmente em Portugal. O Enoturismo é um ecossistema em crescimento, sendo composto pelos subsistemas: Território, Turismo e Cultura Vitivinícola, envolvendo mais do que visitar adegas e comprar vinho, surgindo coligado com a herança, identidade e memória de um determinado espaço geográfico, que deve seguir princípios de desenvolvimento sustentável. Para tal é decisivo gerar dinâmicas de criação de valor, a partir da dimensão endógena das regiões, ancoradas em estratégias de coopetição. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho propõe um modelo agregador do ecossistema - Enotourism Coopetition Model onde se identificam os principais stakeholders, mostrando a necessidade da sua integração interorganizacional sinérgica, através de estratégias de coopetição, reforçadas pelas Políticas do setor. Para desenvolver este estudo exploratório, recorreu-se à metodologia qualitativa, especificamente a Análise de Stakeholders de Kammi Schmeer. A aplicação do modelo visa apoiar gestores e decisores a identificar os atores principais percebendo os seus interesses e a interagir com maior eficácia, na aplicação das políticas do setor. Argumenta-se que todos os stakeholders devem construir uma visão e missão comuns, de modo a: incentivar uma atitude e um comportamento focados no território, no património cultural e na criação de uma identidade singular; reconhecer o enoturismo como um importante veículo para um desenvolvimento regional sustentável; explorar a multifuncionalidade da paisagem rural; e criar experiências de enoturismo inovadoras.
Wine as a cultural product became the main theme of tourism development in most wine regions in the World and in Portugal. Enotourism is a growing ecosystem, composed by Territory, Tourism and Wine Culture subsystems, involving more than visiting wineries and buy wine, emerging related to landscape, heritage, identity and places memory, following sustainable principles. It is crucial value generation, based on regions’ endogenous resources, anchored on coopetitive strategies. It is also vital to identify main stakeholders within Enotourism ecosystem and analyze theirs coopetitive relationship. In this context, this study proposes an aggregator ecosystem model - Enotourism Coopetition Model. This archetype recognizes the ecosystem players’ diversity, reinforced by sectorial policies, in order to promote authenticity, competitiveness and sustainability. To explore this framework, a qualitative methodology was adopted - Schmeer’s Stakeholder Analysis. The proposed model application will support managers and decision-makers to identify the main actors and interact more effectively, seeking a sustainable territorial value creation; fostering local endogenous resources; strengthening regional landscape identity and increase businesses competitiveness sustainability. It is argued that players must build a common vision and mission, incorporating the needs of those who have Enotourism interests, which could encourage a responsible attitude/behavior focused on: the sense of cultural heritage identity pride; recognition the sector niche as an important vehicle for regional development and local communities’ sharing; commitment to explore the rural landscape´s multifunctionalities; and assigning Enotourism innovative experiences projects, as a priority.
