Abstract(s)
O desenvolvimento tecnológico e o processo de globalização, bem como a forte
dependência comercial entre Estados, conduziu ao aumento significativo de fluxos
comerciais e económicos entre Estados. Este facto tornou a grande maioria das
economias mundiais dependentes destes fluxos. Desde modo, a crise pandémica
provocada pela disseminação global do vírus Covid-19, iniciada no final de 2019 em
Wuan, na China, veio perturbar este balanço económico. Dado o perigo de milhões de
vidas humanas, e da real possibilidade de colapso dos diversos sistemas de saúde, a
grande maioria dos países optou pela adoção de medidas restritivas de circulação e
encerramento de fronteiras, principalmente após março de 2020.
Fruto do fenómeno da globalização, um dos setores que mais beneficiou do
crescimento dos fluxos comerciais e económicos entre Estados, foi o turismo
internacional. Vários países, como Portugal, foram transformando e adaptando as
respetivas economias de modo a centrar a sua atividade no setor dos serviços e na oferta
turística. No entanto, o turismo é um setor fortemente instável/volátil, em virtude da
dependência de múltiplos fatores externos, como crises políticas, económicas e sociais.
A situação de pandemia provocada pelo vírus Covid-19 veio expor as fragilidades de um
setor que estava em grande crescimento a nível global, espoletando novos desafios e
forçando a uma readaptação da oferta turística.
Neste contexto, o presente relatório de estágio, efetuado ao abrigo do Programa
“Erasmus+” centra-se na experiência desenvolvida no operador turístico Kraków
Explorers, na Polónia. O estágio foi realizado em pleno período pandémico, o que
permite obter uma visão concreta sobre a forma como o setor, neste caso específico, se
adaptou aos novos tempos.
Technological development and the process of globalization, as well as the strong commercial dependence between States, has led to a significant increase in trade and economic flows between States. This fact made the vast majority of world economies dependent on these flows. Thus, the pandemic crisis caused by the global spread of the Covid-19 virus, which started in late 2019 in Wuan, China, has disturbed this economic balance. Given the danger of millions of human lives, and the real possibility of the collapse of different health systems, most countries have opted for the adoption of restrictive measures for circulation and border closure, especially after March 2020. As a result of the phenomenon of globalization, one of the sectors that has benefited most from the growth of commercial and economic flows between States, has been international tourism. Several countries, such as Portugal, have been transforming and adapting their respective economies in order to focus their activity on the services sector and on the tourist offer. However, tourism is a highly unstable / volatile one, due to the dependence on multiple external factors, such as political, economic and social crises. The pandemic situation caused by the Covid-19 virus has exposed the weaknesses of a sector that was growing at a global level, sparking new challenges and forcing a readjustment of the tourist offer. In this context, this internship report, carried out under the “Erasmus +” Program, focuses on the experience developed at the tour operator Kraków Explorers, in Poland. The internship was carried out in the middle of a pandemic period, which allows us to obtain a concrete view of how the sector, in this specific case, has adapted to the new times.
