  • Tourism e-Storytelling in creative territories: proposal of a model for a digital multiplatform of e-Storytelling in creative territories
    Santos, Vasco, Carvalho, Rui Miguel Ferreira, Reis, Patrícia, Simões, João Tomaz
    Journal of Tourism and Development, 2025
    The research purpose of this paper is to develop a proposal for a model for a digital multiplatform of e-Storytelling in creative territories. For that a literature review was undertaken, to elucidate the current state of the art concerning the main concepts: creative tourism development models, creative territories, and e-Storytelling. Following a list of creative manifestations, creative territories and localized creative networks in continental Portugal were compiled and a comprehensive examination of creative territories' attributes was conducted, enhancing the understanding of the multifaceted dimensions that shape these dynamic spaces. This information provides a solid and inspiring foundation for the design of an innovative multiplatform e-Storytelling model for creative territories. The model promotes community engagement, facilitating user interaction for a dynamic narrative network in creative territories. It ensures cultural preservation through meticulous curation, safeguarding unique historical and cultural essence. The research's implications extend to tourism management, marketing, and digital technology, offering valuable insights into the dynamic interplay between creativity, tourism, and digital media. The proposed model serves as a practical guide for practitioners and policymakers aiming to enhance tourism storytelling in creative territories.

  • Multidimensional Benefits of Creative Tourism: A Network Approach

    Urban Science, 2024
    As creative tourism consolidates both as an autonomous research area and a valid sustainable form of tourism based on learning, active participation, co-creation, creative self-expression, and local community engagement, its economic models have evolved from simple creative activities to complex territorial and technological-based networks, boosting the entrepreneurship of creative communities in tourism. Seen as a means of territorial development strategy through tourism, creative networks can stem from private partnerships, the public sector, the local community, or third sector organisations. Focusing on a case study approach, this research adopts a multidimensional framework with the goal of analysing the benefits of creative tourism towards a creative tourism network. Using a quantitative approach through Likert scale statements of five items, this research aimed to study the creative supply and demand linked to a creative tourism network. Based on the principles and benefits of creative tourism and the goals of the creative network, the following dimensions were analysed: job creation; production and commerce of creative products; safeguarding of tangible and intangible heritage; development of social capital between network agents; creative and innovative images of the region; the active role of the local community in the network; and the consumption profile of the creative tourist through the network. The main conclusions of the study point to the network boosting local job creation and preserving local traditions but struggling to expand sales and increase tourist stays. While it enhances the region’s image, there is a need for stronger collaboration and community engagement.

  • Onboarding Handbook: An Indispensable Tool for Onboarding Processes

    Administrative Sciences, 2023
    Onboarding handbooks constitute a very important and powerful tool in the socialization and integration processes of recruits implemented by Human Resources. As companies compete to thrive in global markets, the attraction and retention of employees have been given much attention in recent years. One of the strategies developed by companies to achieve this goal are the so-called Onboarding Handbooks given to newcomers, serving as a means of facilitating workers’ integration into the everyday processes of the company. As a consolidated research area, many HR studies have been developed around these subjects, as these manuals have been proven to be important tools in the socialization process of the former candidate, now entering the organisational culture of a given enterprise. A literature review was developed according to the main variables of the study of Organisational Socialization processes, strategies, and methods, with special emphasis on the onboarding book. To find out if these manuals correspond to the relevant literature of HR, eight of the onboarding handbooks from several public and private organizations have been analysed following the proposed structure of onboarding handbooks presented in the literature review. In addition, purposeful sampling was followed and content analysis on the handbooks was developed. The paper’s contributions are twofold: (a) the authors suggest a complete and up-to-date structure for the contents of onboarding books to be applied by HR managers and (b) compare its structure to several manuals of different enterprises from various sectors of the Portuguese economy. Findings show that the onboarding book remains an important tool and facilitator of organisational integration. Although, the onboarding processes are changing, and even the format of the onboarding books can become different (digital or not), their contents are essential for the socialization of newcomers and a means to organisational culture dissemination as well as containing functional contents such as internal norms and regulations.
  • Creative Tourism Consumption: Framing the Creative Habitus through a Bourdieusian Lens
    Rui Carvalho, Carlos Costa, Ana Ferreira
    Sustainability Switzerland, 2023
    Creative tourism studies remain a newly developed field, pointing to changes in the consumption of tourism and culture while influencing how creativity and co-creation differentiate tourism supply through exploring the existential dimensions of creative experiences, the latter remaining an under-researched theme in the creative tourism literature. In addition, this type of tourism is presented as more responsible and sustainable than other types of massified forms of tourism. Building on a Bourdieusian approach, an updated version of Bourdieu’s main sociological thinking tools was used to analyse the creative habitus of both the supply and demand involved in the co-creation of creative tourism experiences. The authors developed 42 semi-structured interviews with creatives and creative tourists using the Loulé Criativo network in Portugal as a case study and applied qualitative techniques for the data treatment. The results showed that the creative habitus could move successfully between fields, expressing a sustainable agency towards creative tourism consumption. Autodidactism is important for skill development and knowledge replication resulting from the co-creation of creative experiences. The creative habitus, endowed with intercultural and creative capital, is characterized by self-education and ecological awareness where co-creation and coexistence with other creative people enhance the development and replication of creative competencies outside the tourism field.
