- The inter-community competition as a factor for sustainability and differentiation of tourism product : the case of National Park of Peneda GerêsPublication . Almeida, António Sérgio Araújo deThe inter-community competition through its local traditions may emerge as a decisive factor to pave the way for the forthcoming of sustainable touristic opportunities, involving communities and contributing decisively to its economic development.

The isolation of certain communities, usually regarded as negative, strongly favours their involvement around their values, encouraging and promoting the emergence of rivalries and consequent inter-community competitions.
