Strategies for Creative Tourism Activities in Pandemic Contexts: The Case of the ‘Saídas de Mestre’ Project

“…The present research intends to identify how the MARCA association reacted to the challenges and constraints imposed by the pandemic situation and developed adaptive strategies in the context of the 'Saídas de Mestre' project to ensure the continuation of investments that resulted in a project anchored in the ideas of sustainable development. According to study results, MARCA presents a management plan with strategies to mitigate impacts caused by the pandemic, as deemed important by several authors [4,[29][30][31]40]. The project 'Saídas de Mestre', whose four activities were characterized in the previous sections based on Schmitt's model [41][42][43], evidences a set of holistic experiences of a passive and active character, that participants can continue to enjoy in the different creative workshops in which they engage.…”
