Estas atividades, realizadas na natureza, dão resposta às exigências de um novo tipo de turista ativo e constituem um importante produto turístico oferecido aos visitantes da Madeira, onde as reservas marinhas e o Parque Natural da Madeira, constituem os espaços utilizados pelos turistas e, pelas empresas de animação turística, para a realização das suas atividades relacionadas com o turismo ativo e de natureza. Na última década, o número de empresas de animação turística sofreu um grande aumento, estando atualmente registadas 451 empresas, das quais, 111 se dedicam a atividades marítimo-turísticas e em que 23 destas oferecem o mergulho como atividade. Apenas 27 empresas se encontram registadas como efetuando atividades de Turismo de Natrueza e oferecem um total de 24 atividades diferentes: Caminhadas é a atividade mais oferecida (14 empresas), seguida pela Observação de aves e rotas geológicas (6 empresas).
- Digital nomads — The case of the Autonomous Region of MadeiraPublication . Sardinha, Luís; Vieira, Micaela; Sousa, Áurea Sousa de; Leite, Eduardo; Sardinha, Luís; Leite, EduardoIn 2021, the pioneering project “Digital Nomads Madeira Islands” (DNMI) started in the Autonomous Region of Madeira (ARM). Specific objectives were defined to systematize the evolution of digital nomads (DN) from 2020 to 2022 and summarize their sociodemographic characteristics and trends. Through a questionnaire, this quantitative and descriptive study aims to understand the reality of DN in the ARM. The sample consists of 14,960 DN registered within the scope of DNMI project by Startup Madeira, who responded to the questionnaire between November 2020 and December 2022. It was observed that the project attracted DN from all around the world, surpassing 135 countries. The most significant profession represented was “Software and Applications Developers and Analysts.” The year 2021 had the highest number of registrations of DN, possibly due to the novelty of Digital Nomads Village project and coinciding with the COVID-19 pandemic period. This study provides a significant contribution on multiple levels.
- Exploring the impact of climate change on lodging establishments: a systematic literature reviewPublication . Mota, Luís; Leite, Eduardo; Ghasemi, VahidPurpose This study aimed to identify scientific research concentrating on climate change impacts on accommodation services and examine the most relevant outputs related to man agement strategies due to exposure to climate change. Methodology It used a systematic review of the literature of scientific articles published in the Web of Science and SCOPUS. The search strings were validated by academics, who suggested adding more keywords for studying the relationship between accommodation settings and climate change. As a result, four search strings were established and identified 39 articles for qualitative analysis with MAXQDA. Findings Some studies asserted that corporate social responsibility is important for mit igating climate change issues. hotels work together with local businesses, enforcing the community’s adaptive capacity to climate change and supporting the need for education and training programs to understand climate change risks better. Moreover, green human resources management directly relates to the level of environmental awareness in local communities. Using air conditioning for combating heat waves consumes high amounts of energy. One option lies in energy-efficient buildings such as passive houses, using compact designs for reducing the cost of operation. Currently, hotel operations rely more on being more transparent regarding informing guests and influencing eco-friendly choices. On the other hand, there is an investment in training employees regarding good practices for energy use and management. Such action leads to accountable energy savings. Nevertheless, hotels still struggling to adapt because of their elevated energy consumption for heating, hot water, lightning, or cooling aggregates.
- Networks and interorganizational cooperation in nature tourism: a case studyPublication . Teixeira, Sérgio; Leite, EduardoThis research aims in general conceptualize some of the factors that have implications and the level of business networks and interorganizational cooperation. As nature tourism characterized by being an activity that has highlighted its potential growth, which combined with the importance of networking and cooperation and partnership plays an important role as local and regional development strategy. The purpose of this research is essentially to develop a theoretical framework in order to match with different concepts and elements to explain and understand the phenomenon of partnerships in nature tourism.
- Organizational emergence theory: addressing invisible conflicts and emerging dynamics in entrepreneurshipPublication . Leite, Eduardo Manuel de Almeida; Audretsch, David; Leite, EduardoAbstract This study presents the Theory of Organisational Emergence (TOE), an interdisciplinary framework for understanding non-linear dynamics, emergent resilience, and invisible conflicts in entrepreneurial settings. TOE integrates Interacting Q’s and the PIE model (Politics, Ideology, Economy) to address gaps in established theories like Dynamic Capabilities and Effectuation. Through a qualitative analysis of the House of Mendes and Tesla Inc., TOE demonstrates how organisations adapt under systemic pressures. The framework also provides a practical diagnostic toolkit to detect tensions, simulate disruptions, and inform strategic action. By bridging theory and application, TOE offers a novel and actionable perspective for navigating uncertainty, fostering innovation, and enhancing resilience in complex environments. It equips organisations with tools to thrive amid systemic volatility and institutional complexity.
- Standardized Reading of Sustainable Tourism Indicators for Ultraperipheral RegionsPublication . Leite, Eduardo; Mota, Luís; Lousada, Sérgio; Leite, AnaSustainable development raises various challenges in terms of UPR for putting public policies into effect, and the concept, namely about the definition of metrics, is adapted to small parcels of territory. The objective of the present study is to introduce an alphanumeric reading scale for the tourism sustainability indicators in UPR, to be precise, Madeira and the Azores to allow a better interpretation and understanding. A total of 25 indicators were compared in the last 5 years and with the COVID-19 pandemic, although there are positive performances, a lack of data was observed for some indicators, and some lack of information in the last 2 years or more. During the last 5 years, the pillar of environmental sustainability has maintained its ideal form, but in comparison with the last 2 years, it has moved to critical status, which is in part a consequence of the lack of recorded data. There are indicators that are not registered on the UPR and some data from Turismo de Portugal refer only to the mainland zone. The major implication is raised in terms of the existing indicator systems, which are not all provided periodically, influencing the interpretation of the indicators of Portuguese UPR. Consequently, assertive, sustainable decisions are difficult to be taken based on non-existent or insufficient data.
- Training in time management: a case study in an outermost insular contextPublication . Sardinha, Luís Filipe; Sousa, Áurea; Leite, Eduardo; Carvalho, Andreia; Sardinha, Luís; Leite, EduardoThe theme of Time Management (TM) has been attracting growing attention from contemporary societies, with several authors having proposed different TM models. To improve TM skills, Training in Time Management (TTM) is recommended, which allows the development of cognitive skills. In practice, it translates into thought processes that allow the individual to analyse situations and that can be used to understand, address issues or problems, on the assumption that individual effectiveness is linked to organisational effectiveness. An attempt was made to apply a flexible TM model to employees from various organisations and to assess the assumed evidence of the benefits of this implementation. Through a quasi-experimental procedure, three TM training courses were delivered, in person and online, to workers from the Portuguese outermost regions. The programme was developed with a focus on the three pillars of the flexible TM model proposed by the authors: time perspective, self-recognition, and TM. Dependent variables were measured before training and two weeks after training. The training programme lasted for three hours. In general, it was found that statistically significant differences (p < 0.001) were found between the average scores obtained on the scale that assesses TM behaviour at the two points in time in which the questionnaire was administered. In the 2nd time, after the training course on TM, the average total scores obtained were higher, so the training provided proved to be effective, as it led the participants to change some of their behaviours, thus contributing to a better TM on the part of the trainees.
