Tourism is perceived as an appropriate solution for pursuing sustainable economic growth due to its main characteristics. In the context of sustainable tourism, gamification can act as an interface between tourists (clients), organisations (companies, NGOs, public institutions) and community, an interface built in a responsible and ethical way. The main objective of this study is to identify gamification techniques and applications used by organisations in the hospitality and tourism industry to improve their sustainable activities. The first part of the paper examines the relationship between gamification and sustainability, highlighting the links between these two concepts. The second part identifies success stories of gamification applied in hospitality and tourism and reviews gamification benefits by analysing the relationship between tourism organisations and three main tourism stakeholders: tourists, tourism employees and local community. The analysis is made in connection with the main pillars of sustainability: economic, social and environmental. This study is positioning the role of gamification in the tourism and hospitality industry and further, into the larger context of sustainable development.

“…C4mpUs has been built from the ground up to further integrate gamification as a mean to increase the motivation to use it. Gamification has been successfully used and tested in several different fields [8] such as tourism [9], health [10], or education [11]. This paper will briefly discuss the design and the development of C4mpUs and how design science helped to create it.…”

A realização de viagens por motivos religiosos tem sido transversal ao longo da evolução da humanidade, nas décadas mais recentes, algumas destas viagens foram motivadas pelo turismo (religioso). As tecnologias da informação e comunicações (TIC) tem tido muito impacto sobre o turismo ao longo das últimas décadas, uma vez que a informação é um dos aspetos mais importantes a considerar no sector do turismo. As TIC podem contribuir para uma divulgação de conhecimento mais completo sobre o patrimônio tangível e intangível. A partilha e a disseminação do conhecimento sobre esse património (religioso), em termos gerais, deverá ser acessível a todos os tipos de utilizadores, desde os residentes, aos turistas ditos "tradicionais", aos turistas com limitações visuais, auditivas, de mobilidade, etc., e a grupos específicos com características especiais, como por exemplo, idosos e crianças. Neste contexto, este trabalho propõe um referencial metodológico para o desenvolvimento de um novo produto tecnológico para o turismo religioso, o qual potenciará o envolvimento afetivo do turista com o património que está a visualizar enquanto promove a sua experiência turística, a um nível pessoal e espiritual.
