Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

This research intends to analyze the interest students attending Tourism Programmes have in entrepreneurial activities. A bibliographical research was conducted and four hypotheses were announced. Data were collected during a field study with 149 students of higher education institutions located at Fortaleza (Ceara State, Brazil). Data were analyzed using three statistical techniques: descriptive analysis, multiple regression analysis, and analysis of variance. It was found that: (1) students, in general, have an intermediary predisposition to engage in entrepreneurial activities; (2) entrepreneurial interest is influenced by the perceived entrepreneurial vocation of the area, support of friends and family, ownership of a firm (individual or family business), and the perceived mastership of entrepreneurial strategic skills. Even results have limitations due to non-probabilistic sampling, they may help to improve the actions developed to encourage entrepreneurial interest in tourism students.

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

This paper attempts to discuss some issues on tourism in Ilhéus City, located in south Bahia State, Brazil, focusing mainly on relations between local entrepreneurs and the place and trying to analyze in which ways those relations influence the local touristic system itself. It stems from a qualitative research based on data from ethnographic descriptions. Research techniques such as participant observation, semi-structured survey and non-structured survey were used, and the subjects were consumers as well as public and private managers. Surveys in lodging facilities were also performed. As an outcome, it can be said that the gap between available resources and attractions effectively created for tourism, as well as the lack of action from both public and private sectors on local tourism, represent only the symptoms – and not the causes – of a problem which is centered in the invisibility -for public adminstration-, of tourism as a way for social and economic development.
