Abstract(s)
O final do século XX apresentou-se como um século de viragem, onde são visíveis alterações nas mentalidades e na relação do Homem com a natureza. Esta viragem marca o aparecimento de novos turistas, novas modalidades de turismo e novos percursos, que enfatizam a natureza dos lugares visitados e o consumo de bens naturais e culturais diferenciados. Estas alterações desencadeiam novas territorialidades, nomeadamente nas zonas costeiras.
Peniche é um exemplo de adaptação e renovação de território. Novas e antigas formas territoriais coexistem e reajustam-se às novas realidades de consumo. Os desportos de ondas, como o surf, encontram neste território um espaço de excelência para se desenvolverem, o que tem provocado a transformação do território e do modo de vida da comunidade, numa lógica de inovação e tradição. De território piscatório e de veraneio, Peniche é hoje um território de surf.
O objetivo deste artigo é refletir sobre as várias funções do território Peniche e analisar o turismo de surf como fonte de reinvenção do território. Para tal recorreu-se a uma revisão bibliográfica e à observação não participante no território de Peniche.
Conclui-se que o turismo de surf é um produto dinamizador das áreas costeiras e dos territórios adjacentes e que a aposta em produtos turísticos alternativos ao sol e à praia, baseados nas potencialidades existentes no território – o Mar - é uma alternativa à evolução económica dos espaços e uma verdadeira porta de oportunidades.
The late twentieth century presented itself as a century of change, with visible changes in the mindset and relation of the human being with nature. This shift marks the emergence of new tourists, new forms of tourism and new paths that emphasize the nature of the places visited and the consumption of different natural and cultural goods. These changes foster a new territoriality, particularly in coastal areas. Peniche is an example of adaptation and territorial renewal. Old and new territorial forms coexist and readjust to the new consumption realities. Wave sports like surf have found in this territory the excellence to develop, which has led to the transformation of the territory and the community's way of life, creating a logic of innovation and tradition. Initially a fishing and holiday territory, Peniche is now a surf territory. The goal of this paper is to discuss the various functions of Peniche territory and analyse surf related tourism as a source of territorial reinvention. For this purpose, we used a bibliographic review and went through a non-participant observation in the territory of Peniche. We concluded that the surf tourism is a driving product in coastal areas and adjacent territories and that the investment in alternative tourism products to the sun and the beach - based on the potential of the territory - the sea - is an alternative to the economic development of spaces and a gateway to new opportunities, enabling the discovery and experience of the most diverse natural and cultural experiences in the Peniche county.
