“…The multi secular relations that rivers have established with the territory they travel and with the riverside communities make them an appreciable environmental, economic, and heritage resource. (Moreira, 2018) Local communities must have a growing involvement in water-based tourism activities, proactive and enterprising intervention, stimulating these activities, and at the same time having a responsible civic attitude, capable of controlling and alerting to situations of incorrect use or practice. Recognizing that the provision of support equipment and services serves to improve the quality of life and economy of local populations (Poedjiotami, 2008).…”

Rural areas and in particular mountain territories have been experiencing an increasing appreciation of natural and heritage resources and their use for recreational and leisure activities, boosting tourism development and generating renewed functions with economic and social impact. Inland waters are becoming increasingly important for leisure and tourism, with many activities associated and many users seeking for them. Fluvial beaches represent leisure facilities for rural communities, allowing people and visitors access to aquatic spaces for leisure, sport and entertainment, creating conditions for enjoying nature and water resources, particularly during the summer period. The supply of surface water resources – rivers, lakes and canals – in the territory of the Estrela Geopark in Portugal, represent a tourist potential for this mountain region. They qualify the offer and constitute recreational attractions appreciated by the community and tourists, generating social well-being and fostering new services. There is a growing demand for these spaces, allowing the upgrading of fluvial areas, generating new features and enhancing the image of the destination Serra da estrela. The greater part of this equipment is operated by public entities linked to local administration, thus benefiting from public investment and support. There is a strong perception of its importance in attracting tourists, in improving the quality of life of the local population and in the opportunity to expand trade and service activities. Also in the image of the community, and their self-esteem is perceived, the importance of river beaches and consequently the disclosure that they associate, in terms of environmental quality, heritage value, and space of tranquillity.

“…In recent decades this type has evolved in common with the remainder in such a way that it has encouraged the development of active tourism, as is stated in some studies of bibliographical analysis on this subject [32] or others analyzing sports tourism and big data [33]. Given this situation, river tourism is an interesting alternative for encouraging tourism activities and economic development in adjacent areas [34,35]. It can be complemented with other spaces linked to water such as reservoirs, which little by little are beginning to emerge as true centers of tourist attraction in which to carry out sporting activities, cultural activities, etc.…”

Water as a Tourist Resource in Extremadura: Assessment of Its Attraction Capacity and Approximation to the Tourist Profile

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In inland areas water is an important resource for attracting tourists as is the case in Extremadura. For this reason this research aims to determine its attraction capacity for travelers from other parts of Spain. In 2017, 13,848 surveys were carried out in the tourist offices of the region, from which 3403 were selected from those practicing tourism related to water. This has allowed us to find out the type of tourist who visits the area and his/her origin. By means of a geographical information system, a network analysis was applied to determine the attraction capacity of certain infrastructures. This result confirms that the most frequently visited areas coincide with the presence of natural swimming pools, although reservoirs do not act as centers of attraction for tourists although they do for visitors. At the same time, it was found that tourists practicing activities related to water resources come from neighboring areas but their attraction capacity extends to distant areas which coincide with areas that were the destination for regional emigration. Moreover, we advocate the need for establishing tourist policies involving greater tourist exploitation of reservoirs and the deseasonalization of tourism in the northern area, where most areas prepared for bathing are to be found.
