Abstract(s)
O aumento da esperança média de vida é considerado uma das maiores conquistas da
humanidade, mas, paradoxalmente, o envelhecimento é considerado um dos maiores
problemas do século XXI, quer em termos das necessidades de cuidados e suporte que
cria, quer em termos da qualidade de vida que a longevidade acarreta. Assim sendo, é
necessário dar resposta às necessidades da sociedade. Neste sentido, o turismo sénior,
surge como uma das atividades promotoras de qualidade de vida nas pessoas idosas, na
medida em que esta, está inevitavelmente associada ao envelhecimento ativo, definido
numa perspetiva positiva. O turismo sénior tem vindo, nas últimas décadas, a ser indicado
como um eixo determinante para o bem-estar e felicidade do idoso, contribuindo para
melhorias significativas na saúde física e psicológica, potenciando assim a sua qualidade
de vida.
Este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar o contributo que as atividades de turismo sénior
podem ter no aumento da qualidade de vida da população sénior, bem como vislumbrar,
através de um estudo projetivo, que tipo de impacto pode ter o turismo, nos próximos
anos, na população idosa. Para tal, realizamos um estudo de natureza quantitativa, a partir
dos dados obtidos das bases do INE e PORDATA.
The increase of the average life expectancy is considered to be one of mankind’s greatest achievements, but, paradoxically, aging is seen as one of the biggest problems in the 21st century, both in terms of the support and care needs that it creates, and in terms of the quality of life that comes with longevity. As such, it is necessary to answer society’s needs. As a result, senior tourism appears as one of the activities that improves quality of life in elderly people, as it is inevitably associated with active aging, shown in a positive light. In the last few decades, senior tourism has played a significant role in the happiness and well-being of the elderly, contributing to major improvements in physical and psychological health, hence boosting their quality of life. This work intends to evaluate the benefits of senior tourism activities for quality of life in the senior population, as well as to get a glimpse, through a projective study, the kind of impact that tourism can have on the elderly population in the coming years. For that purpose, we have done a quantitative study based on data obtained from INE and PORDATA
