Descripción del proyecto
Medir y mejorar la sostenibilidad del turismo en la Unión Europea
Mientras el turismo de masas sigue aumentando en Europa, la Unión Europea busca activamente nuevas estrategias para apoyar la transición hacia un modelo turístico más sostenible. El equipo del proyecto TOURSUS-EU, financiado con fondos europeos, introducirá un método innovador para evaluar el efecto del turismo de masas en la economía y la sociedad. Este método utilizará técnicas analíticas avanzadas para examinar datos de lugares declarados Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco como Venecia, Lisboa y Split, con el objetivo de desarrollar un planteamiento estructurado para evaluar y mejorar la sostenibilidad del turismo. El objetivo del proyecto es evaluar cuantitativamente el efecto de diversos factores en la evolución adversa del sector turístico y calibrar el potencial de crecimiento sostenible del turismo. Los resultados de TOURSUS-UE influirán en el desarrollo de prácticas de gestión en los destinos turísticos.
Objetivo
The TOURSUS-EU proposal is designed to contribute to the definition of and the transition to a more sustainable model of tourism, which is one of the major issues of the EU. As a highly interdisciplinary project, TOURSUS-EU intends to introduce a new approach to measuring the impact of mass tourism on the economy and society, by analyzing data from important tourist destinations listed in the UNESCO World Heritage sites (Venice, Lisbon and Split). The proposal relies on the use of state-of-the-art knowledge and state-of-the-art analytical methods (Dynamic Panel Models, time series analysis, MultiCriteria Decision Analysis and Big Data Analysis) in order to develop an innovative structured approach for the assessment and improvement in tourism sustainability. In particular, the project will allow for the quantitative evaluation of the effects of various factors on the negative developments in tourism sector, as well as the assessment of the sustainable growth in tourism that will take into account the negative effects that mass tourism generates. The expected results will be beneficial for both the scientific and the local community and will have an impact on the formation of management practices within tourist destinations, potentially to be adopted in other regions and tourist destinations in Europe and worldwide. The realization of the project TOURSUS-EU will be a turning point in my career. Considering BRU Iscte is a recognized multidisciplinary research center with Researches Excellence, I firmly believe that the proposed cooperation and TOURSUS-EU will open up the best future career possibilities for me. It will significantly help me to increase my expertise in the application of new relevant techniques in the field of sustainable tourism, allowing me to grow as an independent researcher.
