Summary: | Tourism is characterized as being a sector that stands out as one of the business activities with the greatest potential for worldwide expansion, and as an engine for economic growth. If at the national level, the appeal of tourism is significant, on the local level this sector presents itself as an essential tool in regional development, as a means to avoid regional desertification and stagnation, stimulating the potential of more undeveloped regions. In such a competitive sector as tourism, companies should develop synergies and achieve competitive advantage. In this context, public-private partnerships play an important role in regional development. The aim of this paper is to present a theoretical context that combines different concepts and elements to explain and understand the public-private partnership phenomenon in tourism. A conceptual model of the role of public-private partnerships will be proposed in order to contribute to successful regional development. Key words: partnerships; public-private interface; regional development; conceptual model; tourism O turismo caracteriza-se por ser um sector que se tem destacado como uma das actividades com maior potencial de expansao a nivel mundial e como um impulsionador do crescimento economico. Se a nivel nacional o interesse do turismo e significativo, a nivel local esse sector apresenta-se como um instrumento fundamental no desenvolvimento regional, sendo um meio para evitar a desertificacao e a estagnacao economica das regioes, estimulando as potencialidades das zonas mais deprimidas. Num sector de grande competitividade como o do turismo, as empresas devem implementar aliancas e outras formas de cooperacao, para desenvolverem sinergias e alcancarem vantagens competitivas. Nesse sentido, as parcerias publico-privadas desempenham um papel importante no desenvolvimento regional. O objectivo deste estudo e desenvolver um quadro teorico, de forma a combinar diferentes conceitos e elementos para explicar e compreender o fenomeno das parcerias publico-privadas no turismo. Sera ainda proposto um modelo conceptual do papel das parcerias publico-privadas de turismo, no sentido de contribuir para o sucesso do desenvolvimento regional. Palavras-chave: desenvolvimento regional; parcerias publico-privadas; modelo conceptual; turismo. |
