Contributo do turismo social para o desenvolvimento da actividade turística no Município de Inhambane: um estudo de caso dos empreendimentos turísticos do bairro Josina Machel - Tofo

Abstract

The object of study of this research work is: contribution of Social Tourism to the development of tourist activity in the Municipality of Inhambane. The main objective of the research is to understand how Social Tourism contributes to the development of tourist activity. The investigation carried out showed that, in general, Social Tourism is still very little practiced in the Municipality of Inhambane. There is a need to raise awareness among tour operators, not only to be inclined towards obtaining profits, but also towards the social benefits that this type of tourism can encompass. For the operationalization of the work, an exploratory and descriptive research was applied, using technical procedures such as: bibliographic and virtual research to understand some relevant terms of the work, and later, for data collection, an interview was used. The conclusion of the study shows that there is a need for the government, the private sector and some associations to subsidize tourism entrepreneurs for a consequent reduction in prices for the less favored strata.
