O turismo é uma das principais indústrias do mundo e, pesem embora os benefícios, também é responsável por muitos problemas, sendo o mais proeminente o impacto negativo sobre o meio ambiente. Nas últimas décadas, esta questão logrou obter um substancial avanço, atenta a crescente consciência ambiental, tendo o ecoturismo surgido como um substituto do turismo de massa que, por um lado, propõe atenuar os impactos negativos das formas convencionais de turismo e, por outro, manter as vantagens econômicas. Em sintonia com a tendência global, a cidade do Porto viu um aumento significativo no turismo, quer pelo clima, pela história, características arquitetónicas e recursos naturais. Seguindo a estratégia do governo português, os líderes da cidade e organizações procuram apostar no turismo sustentável, sendo certo que, com as mudanças na procura pelos consumidores, o ecoturismo pode ser o caminho para levá-lo até lá. No entanto, em primeiro lugar, é necessário entender quais os atributos que atraem turistas aos destinos do ecoturismo, a fim de oferecer os produtos de ecoturismo corretos. Para atingir este objetivo, a nossa investigação incluiu a leitura e interpretação de artigos de revistas, jornais, livros e outros documentos focados no turismo e ecoturismo, bem como a análise estatística de um questionário realizado por nós a turistas da cidade do Porto. De um modo geral, a maioria dos turistas inquiridos conhece o conceito de ecoturismo, considerando a natureza a principal motivação, seguida pela sustentabilidade ambiental. Antecipando um pouco as nossas conclusões, foi possível percebermos que os turistas consideram o Porto um bom destino para quem procura esta forma de turismo, mas as principais motivações para escolher este destino basearam se nos atributos histórico e cultural provando a necessidade de estudar os atributos do ecoturismo para oferecer o produto correto. No entanto, este estudo foi limitado devido ao surto da pandemia de Covid-19, que afetou o número de questionários que puderam ser aplicados.
