Turismo Sustentável (NAU)

Offered by Instituto Politécnico de Tomar,

O que será do turismo após a COVID-19? Será o Turismo Sustentável a alternativa? Conheça e compreenda os princípios éticos e sustentáveis aplicados ao turismo. O Turismo Sustentável é, segundo os especialistas, a aposta que deve ser feita para evitar um turismo massificado, sobretudo após o aparecimento da COVID-19 e consequente pandemia. No curso Turismo Sustentável vai conseguir responder a várias questões, tais como: quais as alternativas para o turismo massificado? Como tornar o meu destino mais apelativo e competitivo? Que atitudes deve tomar para que a procura seja adequada?

Em 2020 estava previsto o aumento de cerca de 4% no movimento de turistas internacionais em comparação ao ano anterior, facto que significaria mais de 1,5 biliões de pessoas a viajarem.
É preciso repensar e refletir em alternativas. A atual forma de atuação do turismo não é promissora, sendo necessário que o turismo se renove. Especialistas, com mais de 20 anos de experiência no tema, irão abordar estas temáticas de maneira simples, objetiva e clara.

Público-alvo
O curso tem como foco os trabalhadores da área do turismo, estudantes, curiosos e a comunidade local que deseja rever os conceitos preconcebidos de uma destinação de sucesso, revendo os caminhos, trilhando novos rumos e reaprendendo o turismo de maneira mais respeitosa ao meio ambiente, à economia, à sociedade e à cultura.

Objetivos de Aprendizagem
Após a realização deste curso vai ser capaz de:

Compreender os conceitos de sustentabilidade e turismo sustentável;
Perceber o papel do património material e imaterial para o desenvolvimento sustentável;
Responder às novas exigências do mercado turístico;
Criar alternativas sustentáveis para o desenvolvimento do turismo.

Carga Horária

Sustainable Development - Ideas and Imaginaries (Coursera)

Humanities History

Ideas and imaginaries inspire human capacity for great endeavours, but ‘conventional wisdom’ frequently prevents necessary change. Achievement of global sustainable development is, therefore, dependent on a profound comprehension of the preunderstandings and implicit imaginaries that form both our perception of reality and our basic confidence in the viability of transgressive action.

A Circular Economy of Metals: Towards a Sustainable Societal Metabolism (Coursera)

Sci: Environment

Metals are present everywhere around us and are one of the major materials upon which our economies are built. Economic development is deeply coupled with the use of metals. During the 20th century the variety of metal applications in society grew rapidly. In addition to mass applications such as steel in buildings and aluminium in planes, more and more different metals are in use for innovative technologies such as the use of the specialty metal indium in LCD screens. A lot of metals will be needed in the future. It will not be easy to provide them. In particular in emerging economies, but also in industrialized countries, the demand for metals is increasing rapidly. Mining and production activities expand, and with that also the environmental consequences of metal production. In this course, we will explore those consequences and we will also explore options to move towards a more sustainable system of metals production and use.
