“…The main objective was to create a framework for the protection of not only inland surface waters but also transitional waters, coastal waters and groundwater, the regime for the protection of public water reservoirs, and the lagoons or lakes of public waters. (MA, 1997; Moreira, 2011).…”

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.

“…Silveira (2016) centra-se nos ambientes aquáticos marítimos, no turismo náutico, particularmente, no turismo de iates. Já Moreira e Santos (2010), Moreira (2011), Moreira (2012a) e Moreira e Santos (2016) demonstram a importância dos ambientes aquáticos não marítimos para os lazeres e para o turismo. Os principais produtos e destinos turísticos associados às águas interiores, não só em Portugal como também em Espanha, são destacados por García González (2004).…”

“…Entre os recursos hídricos merecem especial referência os rios. Os rios, que são uma atração linear em termos de configuração espacial (Wall, 1997;Wall e Mathieson, 2006), são usados pelo ser humano desde tempos imemoriais (Cavaco & Simões, 1998;Haslam, 1997;Moreira, 2011;Moreira & Santos, 2010;Prideaux, Timothy & Cooper, 2009;Saraiva, 1999). Peixoto (2016, p. 68) nota "(...) que os rios passaram ou estão a passar de uma dimensão funcional a uma dimensão patrimonial", que valoriza as paisagens fluviais, constituindo-se os rios como centrais em muitas estratégias de desenvolvimento local.…”

Resumo:O presente artigo parte da investigação realizada no âmbito do turismo fluvial e dos lazeres em águas interiores em Portugal. Realça a importância do rio como atração turística e como património. A conceptualização do turismo fluvial é um dos seus contributos. Esta centra-se no stricto sensu do turismo fluvial, evidencia a sua amplitude, a sua acentuada ancoragem territorial e sua importância para o desenvolvimento local e regional.A análise retrospetiva da valorização dos rios em Portugal releva as potencialidades do território nacional e o caráter relativamente recente e pontual dos investimentos para valorizar as águas interiores para os lazeres e para o turismo. O rio Douro é um caso paradigmático do turismo fluvial em Portugal. Os dados evidenciam um crescimento muito acentuado dos passageiros na via navegável do Douro a partir de 2011, explicado, fundamentalmente, pelo aumento de passageiros que realizam um cruzeiro fluvial na mesma albufeira; uma importância desigual de passageiros nos cais de acostagem, destacando-se Régua, Sabrosa/Pinhão, Gaia e Barca d'Alva; uma expressiva sazonalidade dos cruzeiros fluviais; uma preponderância de portugueses nos cruzeiros fluviais de um dia e de turistas internacionais nos cruzeiros em barco-hotel. A investigação sugere a importância de se inventariarem as potencialidades do território nacional em termos de turismo fluvial e de lazeres em águas interiores e de se analisar e monitorizar a procura para melhor gerir a oferta. Palavras-chave: turismo fluvial, águas interiores, Abstract:This article takes the research undertaken on river tourism and leisure on inland waterways in Portugal as its starting point. It highlights the importance of rivers as tourist attractions and as heritage. The conceptualization of river tourism is one of its contributions. It focuses strictly on river tourism, and shows its extent, its significant foothold in the territory and its importance for local and regional development. The retrospective analysis of the exploitation of rivers in Portugal examines the potential of the national territory and the relatively recent and timely nature of investments made to exploit the inland waterways for leisure and tourism. The Douro river is a prime example of river tourism in Portugal. The data show a very strong growth of passengers on the Douro waterway from 2011 on, explained essentially by the increase in passengers who take river cruises there, with differing levels of importance of passengers at the berths, particularly at Régua, Sabrosa/Pinhão, Gaia and Barca d'Alva. There is also a significant seasonality of river cruises, and a prevalence for Portuguese people to take one-day cruises while international tourists prefer hotel boat cruises. The research suggests the importance of inventorying the national territory's potential when it comes to river tourism and leisure on inland waterways and of analysing and monitoring demand so that the supply can be managed better.

The purpose of this study is to address the importance of water resources in tourism and leisure activities, to establish a framework of activities in inland waters and their meaning in the territory of the Serra da Estrela, namely within the scope of Estrela Geopark. Recognizing tourism as one of the pillars of a UNESCO world geopark, the image and brand of this destination is enhanced by the classification obtained, which drives the strengthening of partnerships; collaboration and cooperation between stackholders; the appreciation and diffusion of its heritage and culture; encouraging increased visitor numbers, consumption of goods and services, and decreasing seasonality of tourism. The attraction of its waters for tourism and leisure activities represents a resource for the strengthening of the economic activities within the region with concrete effects on trade, hotels, and local restaurants, in view of the practices involved, the natural and cultural contexts that the territory offers, and the opportunities for new activities.
