Resumen

¿De vuelta a la normalidad? Tomando lecciones de Porto (Portugal) para informar el futuro sostenible del turismo post COVID-19


Porto ha vivido cambios económicos y sociales significativos en las últimas décadas, estrechamente vinculados a la evolución de su sector turístico. Esta investigación examina las vulnerabilidades puestas de manifiesto por la pandemia de COVID-19 en esta ciudad turística y sigue los cambios resultantes. Realizamos un análisis de un conjunto de variables centrándonos en los cambios ocurridos durante dos periodos distintos: durante y después del COVID-19. Los datos se analizan mediante enfoques longitudinales, comparativos y espaciales. Los resultados indican la alta exposición del sector turístico de Porto a la demanda internacional. Actualmente, el crecimiento del sector turístico supera los niveles de 2019 y persisten los desafíos relacionados con el desarrollo turístico y su impacto en las comunidades locales. A pesar de los esfuerzos por diversificar el turismo, el paisaje general parece en gran medida inalterado desde el escenario previo a la pandemia. Las vulnerabilidades resaltadas durante la pandemia deberían guiar el desarrollo hacia un futuro más sostenible. Es crucial mantener la multifuncionalidad de las ciudades, especialmente en las áreas más turísticas, garantizando el mantenimiento de las funciones residenciales, económicas y administrativas.
