Turismo e cultura: avaliação das teorias e práticas culturais do sector do turismo (1990-2000)

Carlos Costa*

 

O artigo discute a forma como o sector do turismo tem vindo a perspectivar e a incorporar a cultura no seu processo de desenvolvimento. Partindo de uma discussão inicial centrada na tese de que a cultura é um elemento fulcral e um dos mais importantes pilares de todo o sistema do turismo e, como tal, a cultura não pode ser dissociada do fenómeno e do sector do turismo, o artigo introduz evidência empírica sobre o grande hiato existente entre esta «relação umbilical» e a prática da política e das estratégias postas em prática no sector do turismo.

Tourisme et culture: évaluation des théories et pratiques culturelles du secteur du tourisme (1990-2000)

L’article discute la façon dont le secteur du tourisme envisage et incorpore la culture dans son processus de développement. En partant d’une discussion initiale centrée sur la thèse que la culture est un élément central, voire l’un des piliers majeurs, de tout le système du tourisme et que, en tant que telle, la culture ne peut être dissociée du phénomène et du secteur du tourisme, l’article introduit l’évidence empirique du grand hiatus existant entre cette «relation ombilicale» et la pratique de la politique et des stratégies mises en pratique dans le secteur du tourisme.

 

Tourism and culture: an assessment of cultural theory and practice in the tourism sector (1990-2000)

This article discusses how the tourism sector has approached and incorporated culture in its development. Based on an initial discussion which focuses on the idea that culture is a key element and one of the most significant pillars of the whole tourism system, and that culture cannot therefore be divorced from tourism as a phenomenon and as a sector, the article offers empirical evidence on the substantial gap between this «umbilical chord relationship» and political practice and strategy for the tourism sector.
