Tourism makes destinations adapt to receive those who visit them, with a great impact among traditional residents. Overtourism affects picturesque places, and these areas end up losing their authenticity, submitting themselves to the consumption needs of tourists. Neighborhoods’ traditional residents also see their routine completely changed due to the different habits of tourists, and displacement rates rise. This study aims to understand how local people perceive tourism in Alfama, one of the most unique and tourist-oriented neighborhoods of Lisbon. Our study involves a questionnaire to old long-term residents and content analysis of their responses. We used Leximancer software to create categories of analysis depending on frequency of mentions and the way themes are related. Our interviewees testified that overtourism in Alfama generates perceptions that range from a generalized acceptance for the benefits that an improved safety associated to an increased street-life and a cleaner neighborhood generate, and on the other hand the grievance for the loss of a pre-existing community. We also conclude that the benefits of tourist-led gentrification are relevant for the gentrification analysis because they show the contradictions that the remaining residential community experience as tourist-led gentrification unfolds.

The COVID-19 pandemic is responsible for a health crisis and, at the same time, for a sharp drop in activities of economic sustainability, particularly in tourism management, and has consequences in most countries that are still difficult to measure. The objective of this research is to identify restaurant entrepreneurs’ perceptions about the future, government measures, strategies they will apply, and lessons learned for the future after the mandatory lockdown of restaurants and hospitality establishments related to pandemics. The framework was developed through content analysis with line-by-line coding applied to questionnaires collected online from Portuguese restaurant entrepreneurs. The results reveal the existence of common concerns to all entrepreneurs in the restaurant business for the post-pandemic period, about the measures that the governments should implement, and about the strategies and lessons learned for the future. Resilience in face of the future, fear of a lack of appropriate government measures, strategies designed for markets with greater immediate availability, and the creation of working capital are visible concerns in the restaurant business.

Portugal is a country with excellent natural conditions for the practice of a number of sporting activities. Until now, the research on recreational practitioners is scarce, mostly those issues related to health benefits and well-being of sports. Through a theoretical review of recreational sport tourism events based on Gammon and Robinson (Journal of Sport & Tourism 8:21–26, 2003), Gibson (Sport Management Review 1:95–102, 1998) and Getz (Sport Marketing Quarterly 7:8–13, 1998), this study intends to perceive the participants’ experience in Portugal by defining a framework model based on Weed and Bull’s (Sport tourism: Participants, policy and providers. Butterworth-Heinemann, Oxford, 2004) conceptualization, and being supported on the interaction among people, place and activity. The participants’ experience has been analysed within the sports activities developed in water, land and air as per the characterization made by Aspas (Los deportes de aventura: consideraciones jurídicas sobre el turismo activo. Editora Prames, Zaragoza, 2000). The methodology was developed in two stages. The first involving in-depth interviews to the responsible managers of sport events companies. This information was processed with the software MAXQDA12. The second stage was composed by a survey applied during some selected events organized by the previously interviewed managers. These results allow to identify the variables concerning the constructs to the theoretical model, thereby assessing whether these constructs have a positive effect on the resulting experience obtained from sport tourism events and recreational participation in sport tourism.
