The Evolution in Number of Guests and Overnight Stays: Is the Tourism Sector Sufficiently Prepared for New Paradigms?

Abstract  The Covid-19 pandemic has created new realities and contexts that provide real challenges for the population, economic operators and public institutions. The tourism sector in Portugal is particularly vulnerable to these new scenarios and considering the sheer weight of these activities on the Portuguese economy, the framework which has been generated is a real problem for the several stakeholders. From different dimensions of the tourism sector in Portugal, in this study indicators associated with guests and overnight stays were selected. The evolution of these indicators was first analysed and later correlated with other economic variables. The main objective was to assess the evolution of the sector over recent years and the impacts from Covid-19 on these frameworks. The results and the main insights obtained show that nobody was prepared for this economic blow and that the evolution of the tourism sector in Portugal since March 2020 has suffered a strong negative trend, more than in other sectors, due to the vulnerability of the sector to human mobility, namely from international markets.

1  Introduction The tourism sector in Portugal is a mature market (Claveria 2016) and is decisive for the Portuguese economy. This relevance is further accentuated in certain regions than in others, which makes these Portuguese territories more vulnerable to any disturbance which may affect the flux of tourists. Tourists from the UK have been the greatest consumers of the supply from Portuguese tourism, namely in the Algarve, jointly with those from Germany, Spain, France or Italy, among other countries (Andraz et al. 2009). The Algarve is an important touristic region, where the beaches, but also other attractions, such as surfing, are pertinent dimensions of the tourism resources (Frank et al. 2015).

The Evolution in Number of Guests and Overnight Stays: Is the Tourism Sector…

the tourism sector (Machado 2017) and the technological dimensions have here a determinant role for a successful dynamic (Machado et al. 2020). Every year, the city of Lisbon is, also, an interesting tourist attraction that brings several tourists from different parts of the world, where the food quality, safety and events are relevant attributes for their probability of returning (Barros and Assaf 2012). The concerns with sustainability are real for the several domains of society and the economy, where the tourism sector is not an exception (Moutinho et  al. 2015), and this may be considered as another factor of differentiation and fidelity. In fact, the residents in great city centres agree that the growth in tourism brings ­benefits in terms of business and employment, but are, also, concerned with the environment and cultural changes (Petruzzi et al. 2020). Nonetheless, of course, the touristic potential of Portugal is not limited to the Algarve and Lisbon. Portuguese heritage is vast, as well its history (Bryce and Causevic 2016). Rural tourism is an example of touristic initiative with great potential (Marques and Antunes Moura 2019) and where there is still much to be explored (Correia Loureiro 2014). In these frameworks, satisfaction (Loureiro 2010) and reputation (Correia Loureiro and Kastenholz 2011) are crucial for fostering loyalty. Nautical tourism (Kovacic and Silveira 2018), the diversity of suggestions from the centre of Portugal (Marques and Santos 2016), the several routes, such as the Dominican route, (Meneses Rodrigues 2019), ecotourism (Roseta et al. 2020), or experiences that combine landscapes, architecture and traditions (Silva and Prista 2016) are other interesting examples. The Portuguese context has changed over the years, but, at least, the essence of the historic and cultural heritage remains in several contexts such as those related to the “Pousadas de Portugal” (Prista 2015), or UNESCO recognitions (Ramires et al. 2018). For example, the international students that arrive in Lisbon every year and the way in which they are housed within the city have had implications on these dynamics of change (Calvo 2018), as well as, some relevant events such as the Expo 98 (Cro and Martins 2018). Despite the similarities and dependence among the Portuguese frameworks on the tourism supply along with other European countries (Lyocsa et al. 2020), there are specificities that should be highlighted in terms of touristic marketing. In terms of a methodological approach to analyse the touristic activities in Portugal, there are several suggestions highlighted in the scientific literature (Fernandes et  al. 2008), including for the assessment of competitiveness (Perna et al. 2018). The approach adopted in this study considered, first, the evolution of several touristic indicators related, namely, with guests and overnight stays over the monthly period from January 2013 until May 2020 for the Portuguese context. In a second phase, these indicators were correlated with some economic variables. The main objective of this study is to assess the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Portuguese tourism market. The statistical information was obtained from Statistics Portugal (INE 2020) and worked through the Stata software (StataCorp. 2017a, b; Stata 2020).

2  Exploring Insights from the Statistical Information In this section the data will be analysed first by NUTS 2 and then by country of tourists’ residence and by establishment.

2.1  NUTS 2 The regions of the AM Lisboa, the Norte and the Algarve are, respectively, the leading regions in terms of number of guests in tourist accommodation establishments, on average over the monthly period January 2013–May 2020. After this the Centro region, RA Madeira, the Alentejo and RA Açores appear (Fig. 1). When the number of overnight stays in tourist accommodation establishments are considered the Algarve appears before AM Lisboa and Norte and followed by RA Madeira before the Centro, Alentejo and RA Açores regions (Fig. 2). This means that the tourists stay for a longer time in the Algarve (comparatively to AM Lisboa, for example) and in RA Madeira (relative to Centro, for instance). For the number of overnight stays in tourist accommodation establishments by residents in Portugal the monthly aver-

age in decreasing order is as follows (Fig. 3): Algarve; Norte; AM Lisboa; Centro; Alentejo; RA Madeira; RA Açores. In turn, for the number of overnight stays in tourist accommodation establishments by non-residents the order is that shown here (Fig. 4): Algarve; AM Lisboa; RA Madeira; Norte; Centro; RA Açores; Alentejo. The results for these last two variables reveal, for example, that Portuguese tourists prefer the mainland regions and foreign tourists put RA Madeira before Norte and Centro and RA Açores before the Alentejo. Finally, the distribution of average stays in tourist accommodation establishments (Fig.  5) shows that, in general and on average, each tourist stays 2.66 nights in the accommodation establishments, with RA Madeira, Algarve and RA Açores above the Portuguese average and the other regions below the national average. These figures highlight that the tourism sector is a cyclical activity. The monthly average (from January until May) growth rate (%), over the period 2013–2019 (Table 1) demonstrates that the Portuguese regions, for guests in tourist accommodation establishments, have grown on average around 22% for each month considered, with Algarve, RA Açores and the Alentejo with higher averages and the remaining regions with growth below the national average. RA Madeira was the region with the worst monthly average growth rates (around 15%). The context for overnight stays in tourist accommodation establishments and overnight stays in tourist accommodation establishments by residents in Portugal (in this variable RA

Madeira improved its position to appear after the Alentejo) is no different from that described for the number of guests. For the overnight stays in tourist accommodation establishments by non-residents, the region RA Açores had the higher monthly average growth rates (around 50%), followed by Centro, the Algarve, the Alentejo and Norte. The Portuguese average was around 28% and AM Lisboa and RA Madeira had growth rates below the national average. This shows that RA Açores was the region where the demand from foreign tourists increased the most. In terms of average stays the region RA Açores was, also, that where this variable increased the most and RA Madeira shows negative growth rates on average for the period considered. These findings highlight the importance of the foreign guest for Portuguese tourism. March and April are 2 months with great increases in the number of guests and overnight stays. In 2020, with the impact from the Covid-19 pandemic (Table  2), the context changed completely, nevertheless, May was a month with some recovery, but, of course, nothing compared to the levels of 2019. On a monthly average, AM Lisboa was the region that lost more guests in tourist accommodation establishments (around −4%). For the overnight stays in tourist accommodation establishments only RA Açores and Alentejo present positive average growth rates (30 and 12%, respectively). The worst context appears in RA Madeira and AM Lisboa. A similar pattern was found for the overnight stays in tourist accommodation establishments

by residents in Portugal. For the overnight stays in tourist accommodation establishments by non-residents the Norte is the only region with positive monthly average growth rates (around 2%) and RA Açores join the group of RA Madeira and AM Lisboa with more negative trends. The more dramatic contexts seem to be those from AM Lisboa and RA Madeira. In homologous terms, over the period 2013–2019 and for the months from January until May (Table 3), the monthly average growth rate for the total number guests was around 11%. RA Açores was where the number of guests increased the most (17%) and Algarve and RA Madeira had growth rates below the total average. The context for the global overnight stays is no different from this pattern. For the number of overnight stays by Portuguese residents RA Açores appears, again, with the best increases and the AM Lisboa with the worst. In terms of overnight stays by foreign tourists, Norte and RA Açores are the regions with greater growth rates and RA Madeira and Algarve with the worst. The Alentejo and RA Açores seem to be the regions with better performance, in terms of guests and overnight stays, before the Covid-19 pandemic. In general, January and April were 2 months with better performance in homologous terms. After the pandemic and in homologous terms (Table 4), the more dramatic contexts, for the number of guests and overnight stays, were in RA Madeira, AM Lisboa and the Algarve. In any case, the monthly average growth rates are negative for all

regions. The same is verified when the overnight stays are disaggregated for the national and foreign residents. The relatively good performance in the tourism sector in Portugal in the months of January and February, before the pandemic context should be noted.

2.2  Country of Residence Figure 6 reveals that over the monthly period January 2013–May 2020, the average number of non-resident guests in tourist accommodation establishments was greater, respectively for UK, Spain, France, Germany, Brazil, USA, Netherlands, Italy, Ireland, Belgium, Switzerland, Canada, Poland, China, Sweden and Denmark. For the overnight stays in tourist accommodation establishments by non-residents the decreasing order is the following (Fig. 7): UK, Germany, Spain, France, Netherlands, Brazil, USA, Ireland, Italy, Belgium, Poland, Switzerland, Sweden, Canada, Denmark and China. This context reveals, for example, that the German tourist stays for longer than Spanish guests. Over the period 2013–2019, considering only the months of January, February, March, April and May, Table 5 demonstrates that the higher growth rates were found

for guests from Ireland and Canada (67 and 54% on monthly average, respectively). A similar pattern was found for the overnight stays. As referred to before, in general, in monthly periods from January until May, the demand for Portuguese tourism supply increased more in the months of March and April (higher average growth rates). Nonetheless, it is worth noting, for example, the negative growth rates for Spanish residents in May, Brazilian in February (that have higher growth rates in April and May), Italian in February, Swedish in May, Chinese in March (that have higher increases in January) and Danish in April and May. After the pandemic context (Table  6) the greater decreases were verified for guests from China, Italy, Belgium and Switzerland. In terms of overnight stays, the greater decreases were for residents from China, Italy, Brazil, Poland, Belgium and Sweden. The context in China and Italy at the beginning of the pandemic had its effect on the demand for tourism from residents of those countries. In homologous terms (Table 7), the higher growth rates were found for the overnight stays and respective guests from China and USA. The guests from China increased on average 38% per month and from USA 23%. The overnight stays have grown by monthly average 35% for guests from China and 23% for guests from USA. All international markets had positive homologous average growth rates, but the Chinese and North American demand showed promising signs and interesting perspectives.

For the first five months of 2020 (Table 8), again, the more accentuated decreases were for guests from China, Italy, Denmark and Sweden. The same occurs for the number of overnight stays. It is worth stressing that, in general, the growth rates are negative in homologous terms (when considering the monthly average for each country, all growth rates are negative).

2.3  Type of Establishment Over the monthly period 2013–2020, on average, the number of overnight stays in tourist accommodation establishments was greater, respectively, in hotels, hotel-­ apartments, local accommodation, touristic apartments, touristic villages, rural tourism and housing and “Pousadas e Quintas Madeira” (Fig. 8). In fact, hotels and local accommodation are the preferred accommodation establishments by touristic demand for the Portuguese supply. Rural tourism, for example, has great potential, but cannot provide accommodation for mass tourism. The monthly average (from January until May) growth rate (%), over the period 2013–2019, by type of establishment, for the overnight stays, was greater for the

With the Covid-19 pandemic the more accentuated decreases, for the overnight stays, were verified for the “Pousadas e Quintas Madeira” (−25% on average per month), hotels-apartments (−20%) and touristic villages (−16%) (Table 10). The growth rates for rural tourism in May show that this accommodation supply is a relevant alternative for the tourism supply in times of pandemic constraints.

Table 11 shows that in a homologous perspective, over the period 2013–2019, rural tourism and housing and local accommodation were where the number of overnight stays increased more on a monthly average (21% and 20%, respectively). Local accommodation offered interesting perspectives for the Portuguese supply and jointly with rural tourism may be important sources of revenues for the several rural contexts where often the economic activity and availability of jobs is scarce. For the year of 2020, from January until May, the more dramatic context, relative to 2019 was for the tourist apartments, hotel-apartments and hotels. The less ­negative monthly average growth rates were found for the “Pousadas e Quintas Madeira” (Table 12). The “Pousadas e Quintas Madeira” appear, also, as significant alternatives for dealing with the frameworks generated by Covid-19.

3  C  orrelations Between Guests and Overnight Stays and Economic Indicators Table 13 demonstrates that there is a positive and significant correlation between the number of guests and the overnight stays which are stronger for the overnight stays by Portuguese residents. There is, also, a positive and strong correlation between the number of guests and the economic indicators (purchases through automatic payments and national withdrawals at ATMs). This is good news, because the purchases through automatic payments and national withdrawals at ATMs recovered since May and it is expected that the activity in tourism also recovered in a consistent way since May and over, at least, the summer months. There is, in turn, a negative

correlation among the number of guests and the average stays, as expected, considering that the average stays are the number of overnight stays per guest. The correlations among the overnight stays and the economic indicators are weaker than those verified for the number of guests. The overnight stays in tourist accommodation establishments by residents in Portugal have a negative correlation with the average stays in tourist accommodation establishments showing that, in general, the national guests stay less time in these accommodation establishments. On average, across NUTS 2 and over the monthly period January 2013–May 2020 (Table  14), the Portuguese tourism sector had 245,243 guests in tourist ­accommodation establishments who stayed in tourist accommodation e­ stablishments for 666,684 overnights, the large majority by non-residents (467203). These guests have an average stay in tourist accommodation establishments of 3 nights. In turn, the average amount of national purchases through automatic payment was similar to the national withdrawals at ATMs (390 and 312 million euros on average per month, respectively).

4  Conclusions The main objective of this research was to assess the evolution of the tourism sector, in terms of guests and overnight stays, and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic upon these variables related to the demand for the Portuguese tourism supply. For this purpose, various statistical information for the monthly period January 2013– May 2020, obtained from Statistics Portugal, was considered and analysed. These variables were, also, correlated with other economic indicators to assess perspectives for the future. The literature review highlights the importance of destinations such as the Algarve and the city of Lisbon for the tourism sector in Portugal. This literature survey also shows the relevance of the natural, cultural and historic heritage, available in other Portuguese regions, for the dynamics in tourism activities. On the other hand, the importance of demand from British, German, Spanish, French and Italian residents was also highlighted.

For the Portuguese NUTS 2, AM Lisboa, Norte and Algarve were, on average over the period considered, the regions which contained the most guests in tourist accommodation establishments followed by Centro, RA Madeira, Alentejo and RA Açores. There is still an enormous potential to be exploited in regions such as Centro, Alentejo and RA Açores. However, these guests stayed more time in the Algarve comparative to AM Lisboa and Norte and more time in RA Madeira comparative to Centro, for example. In turn, the foreign residents prefer the tourism supplied in the Portuguese islands compared to some of that supplied on the mainland and the Portuguese residents placed tourism supplied within the mainland as their priority. In general, tourists stayed for more time in RA Madeira, Algarve and RA Açores. Prior to the context of the pandemic, relative to the previous month, for the months January–May (considering the availability of data to compare with 2020) and over the years 2013–2019, on average, Algarve, RA Açores and Alentejo were the regions with higher growth rates, for the number of guests, and RA Madeira with the worst. The framework for the total overnight stays and for the overnight stays by Portuguese residents is not so different to that described for the number of guests. For the non-resident overnight stays RA Açores, Centro, Alentejo and Norte present high growth rates, which is good news for tourism outside Algarve and Lisboa regions. Within the pandemic’s context, AM Lisboa and RA Madeira (and RA Açores when considering the overnight stays by non-residents) were the regions with worse growth rates, showing the vulnerability of this supply to international demand and conditions that allow for human mobility. In homologous terms over the monthly period January 2013–May 2019 RA Açores was the region with higher growth rates, for the number of guests and overnight stays, and Algarve, AM Lisboa and RA Madeira with lower performances for increases in these variables. These were, also, the regions which presented the worst average growth rates, in homologous terms, for the year 2020. It is important to note that the tourism sector exhibited a positive outlook in RA Açores that changed with the pandemic scenario. Considering the country of residence for the period January 2013–May 2020, the results reveal the importance of demand, in terms of number of guests, from residents of UK, Spain, France, Germany, Brazil, USA, Netherlands, Italy and Ireland, however, German tourists tend to stay for longer than the Spanish. Considering only the first 5 months, the demand from Irish and Canadian residents was that which displayed more increases. After the Covid-19 pandemic the higher decreases were verified for demand from China and Italy, precisely the two countries with the worst

context at the beginning of the pandemic. Curiously, China was the market with greater increase in the homologous demand over the period 2013–2019. For the type of establishments, the tourist preferred hotels, hotel-apartments and local accommodation over the 2013–2020 period. For the first 5 months over the period 2013–2019, rural tourism and housing appear amongst the accommodation establishments having greater growth rates. After the pandemic rural tourism and housing accommodation are those with better performance for the month of May. The analysis in homologous terms supports this interesting perspective for rural tourism. Finally, the correlations between the number of guests and the number of overnight stays and other economic variables show that there has been an interesting outlook for the tourism sector in Portugal since May, however, of course, not for the levels of 2019.

The Main Changes in Tourism Revenues: There Are Alternatives?

Abstract  The competitiveness of the tourism sector in Portugal is crucial for economic performance in the Portuguese context. The new paradigms created by the pandemic have compromised this competitiveness and the alternatives are, for now, not well perceived or understood by the several stakeholders. For example, the possibility of reconverting employees from the tourism sector into the social sector was not well received by the various key players involved. To better support the design of new policies, namely to find alternatives for the unemployment that will be created by the Covid-19 pandemic, the objective of this study is to present a perspective of tourism revenue before and after the pandemic. The main outcomes suggest that it will be urgent to find new alternatives of business and employment in order to mitigate the impacts from these new paradigms, due to the decrease across the several dimensions of revenue which has been accentuated and the perspectives for the summer months are not promising enough to overcome the dramatic context created.

1  Introduction The tourism sector is interrelated with other dimensions of society and the economy at both a national and international level (Pacheco 2016). For example, the insecurity verified in some Arabic countries favoured the demand for tourism in some European countries (Alvarez-Diaz et al. 2015), such as Spain or Portugal. Another aspect is related to the specific conditions of each country, such as the price indexes or exchange rates, for instance (Patsouratis et al. 2005). Portugal has enormous potential to increase its revenue from tourism, with more territorial cohesion, innovation and entrepreneurship (Araujo 2017) that would allow for the further exploration of some niche markets like those from the © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021 V.

The Main Changes in Tourism Revenues: There Are Alternatives?

Portuguese islands (Baldacchino and Duarte Ferreira 2013). New technologies related to smart territories are a factors to take into account in these frameworks (Flores Ruiz et al. 2018). In any case, in Portugal, tourism has been the engine of the economy, generating significant revenue and contributing significantly to the GDP (Bailoa and Cravo 2020). Some events, such as the EURO 2004, have provided their contributions, at least in the short to –medium-term, in promoting the image of Portugal and to attract more revenue from tourism (Balsas 2018). However, there are also other smaller events which are perceived as having their importance in generating revenue and having an impact on the socioeconomic dynamics (Borges et al. 2018). The marketing strategies using national/international events, or local occurrences/resources such as the Nazaré big waves (Cunha-e-Sa et  al. 2018) and the navigability of the Portuguese Douro river (Gouveia et al. 2017), are crucial towards promoting tourism. In fact, the endogenous resources may benefit from tourism and contribute to its promotion, however these effective interrelationships depend on the local communities and stakeholders (Luz 2017). Nonetheless, for an effective promotion, what is needed are adjusted strategic plans (da Camara Correia and Sebastiao 2017) and policies which are designed by taking into account the specific realities (Lopes and Soares 2017). In strategic plans for tourism, the standards of accommodation have a determinant influence and should be taken into account, where hotels have their place. The marketing plans for rural tourism are, also, crucial for the performance of the sector, however considering its scale this is not always well considered (Pato and Kastenholz 2017). The realities of the various hotels can diverge between regions and countries and their profitability depends on various internal factors such as the cash flow, total assets, labour productivity, size and age (Dimitric et al. 2019). The hotel’s location and other specific conditions such as the existence of sports facilities are other determinant variables that influence a hotel’s performance (Oliveira et al. 2013). For example, golf has, for a long time, proven its importance in tourism supply and its revenue (Rebanal Martinez 2019). The revenue of the entire tourism sector in Portugal depends on the capacity to attract demand from countries with higher incomes. This depends, also, on the capacity to create the right conditions for the national lower income sector of families to also benefit from leisure and tourism (Lima et  al. 2018). Indeed, in some circumstances, tourism is a luxury service (Serra et al. 2014). Nevertheless, on a smaller scale tourism revenue, in some circumstances, contributes more to improvements in the income of the operators rather than for changes in the social position or status (Mendonsa 1983). To deal with the vulnerability of tourism revenue to several negative impacts it is important to diversify the supply and, thus, increase the competitiveness (Pletikosa 2015). Here new activities may bring about relevant contributions, such as marine or pesca-tourism (Piasecki et al. 2016), touristic fishing (Vieira and Antunes 2017), cultural ecosystem services (Vaz et al. 2018) and ecotourism (Vaz et al. 2019). Considering the contexts described before, the main objective of this study is to assess the evolution of the revenue in tourism in Portugal and its vulnerability to the

Covid-19 pandemic. For this data from Statistics Portugal (INE 2020)was considered which was first described and later interrelated with other economic indicators, considering the Stata software procedures (StataCorp. 2017a, b; Stata 2020).

2  Data Analysis In this section statistical information disaggregated by NUTS 2 and by type of establishment will be considered and analysed.

2.1  Statistical Information Disaggregated by NUTS 2 The AM Lisboa, on average for the period January 2013–May 2020, is the region with the most total revenue from tourist accommodation establishments, followed by the Algarve, the Norte, the RA Madeira, the Centro, the Alentejo and the RA Açores (Fig. 1). The same occurs for the revenue from accommodation in tourist accommodation establishments (Fig.  2). For the revenue per available room

(RevPAR) in tourist accommodation establishments (Fig. 3), the decreasing order is the following: the AM Lisboa; the RA Madeira; the Algarve; the Norte; the RA Açores; the Alentejo and the Centro. The results for this last variable show that The AM Lisboa, the RA Madeira and the Algarve are where the income per room is higher (Fig. 3). Figure 4, for the net bed occupancy rate in tourist accommodation establishments, reveals that this indicator is higher and above the total average in the RA Madeira, the AM Lisboa and the Algarve (59%, 53% and 43%, respectively, on average by month). Considering the monthly average (from January until May) growth rate (%), over the period 2013–2019, by NUTS 2 (Table 1), the higher values, for the total revenue in tourist accommodation establishments, were found for the Algarve, the RA Açores and the Alentejo (52%, 38% and 27%, respectively, on average per month over the period considered). The total average was 27%. The context for the revenue from accommodation in tourist accommodation establishments was similar. RA Madeira, the Centro and the Norte had the worst average growth rates and AM Lisboa appears in an intermediate position. For the revenue per available room (RevPAR) in tourist accommodation establishments AM Lisboa appears before the

Alentejo, showing that AM Lisboa comparative to the Alentejo increased its income per room more than for global revenues. The RA Açores, the Algarve, the Alentejo and the Centro were the regions with higher average growth rates for the net bed occupancy rate. In the first 5 months of 2020 (Table 2), the worst situations for the total revenue in tourist accommodation establishments and revenue from accommodation in tourist accommodation establishments were verified in RA Madeira and AM Lisboa (with −37% and − 18%, respectively, on average per month for the total revenue). The total average was −4% for the total revenue. The results for revenue per available room (RevPAR) in tourist accommodation establishments show that, on average, the incomes decreased in all Portuguese regions, but that the worst context was that of the islands. The touristic supply most dependent on conditions of human mobility was that which was most affected. A similar tendency was found for net bed occupancy rate in tourist accommodation establishments, but here the more negative growth rates were found in the RA Açores and the Centro. In a homologous perspective for the monthly average (from January until May) over the period 2013–2019, by NUTS 2, the growth rates for the global revenue

(Table 3) were higher for the RA Açores, the Norte, the Alentejo and AM Lisboa (20%, 18%, 17% and 16%, respectively, on average per month for the total revenue). The income per room increased, on average per month, 13% in the Norte and the RA Açores and 11% in the Alentejo and AM Lisboa. The total average was 10%. The net bed occupancy rate increased more, on average, in the RA Açores (10%), the Alentejo, the Norte and the Centro (6%). The RA Açores, the Norte and the Alentejo appeared here with good perspectives of growth. In turn, the Centro has an interesting performance in the net bed occupancy, which could be better reflected in terms of revenue. For 2020 and in homologous terms, Table 4 reveals that the total revenue in tourist accommodation establishments decreased more, on average, in AM Lisboa (−50%) and in RA Madeira (−48%). The total average was −47%. The framework for the revenue from accommodation in tourist accommodation establishments was similar. For the revenue per available room, the monthly average growth rates were  −  48% for AM Lisboa, −47% for the RA Açores, −46% for RA Madeira and − 45% in total. The worst context for the net bed occupancy was verified in RA Açores (−48% on average), followed by AM Lisboa and RA Madeira.

2.2  S  tatistical Information Disaggregated by Type of Establishment The total revenue in tourist accommodation establishments, by type of establishment and over the monthly period January 2013–May 2020 (Fig. 5) was higher, on average, in the hotels, followed by, respectively, the hotel-apartments, local accommodation, tourist apartments, touristic villages, rural tourism and housing and, finally, “Pousadas e Quintas Madeira”. The framework for the revenue from accommodation in tourist accommodation establishments (Fig. 6) is similar. Table 5 presents that on a monthly average (from January until May) over the period 2013–2019, the growth rates for the total revenue in tourist accommodation establishments and revenue from accommodation in tourist accommodation establishments were similar and higher for the tourist apartments, tourist villages and rural tourism and housing, followed, respectively, by the hotel-apartments, hotels, local accommodation and “Pousadas e Quintas Madeira”. The performances for rural tourism and housing open up to good perspectives for the Portuguese rural regions. Table 6 presents that in the first 5 months of 2020, on average, the worse scenario was verified for the “Pousadas e Quintas Madeira” (−28%, on average per month, for the total revenue), hotel-apartments (−21% for the total revenue), touristic villages and hospitality (−7% for the total revenue). The performances for hotel-­ apartments and “Pousadas e Quintas Madeira”, in terms of revenue, were not the best and seem to have worsened with the pandemic.

Table 8 confirms, in homologous terms, the dramatic scenario for the beginning of 2020 that was worse in hotels and hotel-apartments for both total revenue in tourist accommodation establishments, by type of establishment and revenue from accommodation in tourist accommodation establishments, by type of establishment. The context in the “Pousadas e Quintas Madeira” and in rural tourism and housing was less dramatic.

3  I nterrelationships Between the Tourism Revenues and Some Economic Indicators There are strong, positive and significant correlations between the revenues (total revenue and revenue form accommodation in tourist establishments) and the revenue per available room (Table 9). There are, also, positive and significant (but not so strong) correlations among the revenues and the net bed occupancy rate (coefficient around 0.6).

There are still positive and significant correlations (albeit with coefficients of around 0.5 or below) between the revenues and the economic indicators (medium value of bank valuation and constitution and dissolution of legal persons and similar entities). The stronger relationships are found with the medium value of bank valuations and constitution of legal persons and similar entities. A similar pattern was revealed for the revenue per available room and for the net bed occupancy rate. These interrelationships show the importance of economic dynamics for the performance of the tourism sector and in the short term it will prove difficult to find alternatives to these tourism activities, namely to absorb the unemployment that will be created. In any case, sectors which maintain their vitality, such as the agri-food and social sectors may be able to offer interesting alternatives. In turn, it may be important to design policies that promote innovation and entrepreneurship within the sector in order to bring about more dynamics to the related activities.

Table 10 shows that, on average over the Portuguese NUTS 2 and the monthly period considered, the total revenue in tourist accommodation establishments was 36,069 thousand euros and the revenue from accommodation in tourist accommodation establishments was 26,490 thousand euros. The revenue per available room (RevPAR) in tourist accommodation establishments was 34 euros, on average, and the net bed occupancy rate in tourist accommodation establishments 41%. The medium value of bank valuations was 876 euros/m2. In turn, for the accommodation sector, on an average monthly basis, 13 entities were created whilst 3 disappeared. In accommodation, catering and similar, 53 entities were formed and 32 disappeared and for all the sectors 454 were created and 284 dissolved. The ­constitution of entities in the accommodation sector corresponds to 3% of the total and in the accommodation, catering and similar to 12% of the total.

4  Conclusions The main objective of this study was to analyse the evolution of the revenue in touristic accommodation establishments by NUTS 2 and by type of establishment over the monthly period January 2013 – May 2020 and to evaluate the impacts from the Covid-19 pandemic in these contexts. The correlations between these variables and other economic indicators were also analysed so as to assess the perspectives for the tourism sector in these current frameworks and to suggest alternatives. The literature review highlights the interrelationships between the tourism sector and the several socioeconomic dimensions and its vulnerability to national and international impacts. Portugal has enormous potential to improve tourism revenues through innovation and entrepreneurship, where new technologies of information and communication may provide an interesting contribution. Tourism over the last few years has been one of the main driving forces for the Portuguese economy and

may play a crucial role towards territorial cohesion through an effective promotion of the endogenous resources, where rural tourism, for example, may bring about relevant outcomes. At NUTS 2 level, AM Lisboa, the Algarve, the Norte and RA Madeira were the Portuguese regions, on average, with greater total revenue in tourist accommodation establishments over the period January 2013 – May 2020. In turn, the Centro, the Alentejo and the RA Açores are the regions with less revenue, but have vast potential and resources to be explored. With the revenue per available room, RA Madeira has had better performance than the Algarve and the Norte, and the Centro worse comparative to the RA Açores and the Alentejo. The Centro region needs to create the right conditions in order to improve the income per room. The net bed occupancy was higher in the regions with mass tourism (RA Madeira, AM Lisboa and the Algarve). In terms of average growth rates, relative to the previous month, for the period January 2013  – May 2019, the total revenue has grown more in the Algarve, the RA Açores and the Alentejo. The Centro is amongst the worst regions in terms of average growth rates. There are good perspectives here for the RA

Açores and the Alentejo, yet the Centro region needs to analyse its strategy, because it is among the regions which have higher growth rates for the net bed occupancy rate. The pandemic context changed these frameworks, but the worst contexts occurred in the regions which depend the most on the right conditions for human mobility, such as AM Lisboa and the islands. In homologous terms, before the pandemic, the perspectives were good for the RA Açores, the Norte, the Alentejo and AM Lisboa.

For the type of establishments, the total revenues were higher, on average for hotels and local accommodation establishments. In turn, despite the average lower values for rural tourism and housing and “Pousadas e Quintas Madeira”, the growth rates obtained, including those after the pandemic, have created great prospects for these types of establishments. The interrelationships between the total revenues in the touristic accommodation establishments and some economic indicators confirm that the tourism sector in Portugal is correlated with the economic dynamics, namely in terms of business creation. To deal with this context, it is recommended that policy instruments are designed to promote the innovation and entrepreneurship as a support for the creation of new business and employment within the new paradigms created by the pandemic.

Will All Municipalities Be Affected in the Same Way by Changes in Overnight Stays?

Abstract  The municipalities in Portugal play a crucial role in promoting tourism in an integrated way, and appear, in some cases, as essential territorial brands for the respective marketing plans. This territorial marketing may take advantages of natural, cultural and historical municipal heritage to create wealth and maintain the identity and heterogeneity. Of course, the supranational and transnational cooperation to combine strategies are, also, important in a perspective of complementarity. In this context, this study aims to provide a perspective of the tourism sector in Portugal, through bibliometric analysis and statistical survey, so as to show the importance of the Portuguese municipalities in the performance of tourism and to highlight the impacts, at a municipal level, from the Covid-19 pandemic. The results reveal that the impacts from the pandemic were not symmetrical across the Portuguese territory and that the more affected municipalities were those which were more dependent on mass tourism, specifically those located in the big cities and the Algarve. Keywords  Tourism sector · Bibliometric analysis · Panel data · Portuguese municipalities

1  Introduction The municipalities as DMOs – Destination Management Organizations (Mira et al. 2019) may provide a special contribution towards the implementation of an effective tourism marketing strategy (Antunes Moura et al. 2019), in providing accessible information for foreign tourists (Bailini 2019), to promote natural resources so as to obtain added value (Carvalhido et al. 2016; Lopes et al. 2019), to encourage rural festival events (Espina Barrio and Bonatto Barcellos 2017) and to deeper explore available municipal resources (Lopes et  al. 2016). The supra-municipal decisions and governance also have their influence and the respective implications spread out often beyond the municipal borders (D’Emery et al. 2018), including in

the transnational cooperation frameworks, as occurs in the Euroregion of Galicia – Northern Portugal (Pardellas de Blas and Padin Fabeiro 2012). Natural resources (rivers, mountains, etc), complemented with processed and well-known products (wine), of the said municipalities may be considered in order to promote a municipal marketing strategy in an integrated way (Baptista 2017). The gastronomic resources may also have play a relevant role here (Barroco and Augusto 2016), or perhaps the giant waves from Nazaré (Cunha-e-Sa et al. 2018), or the surfing tourism in Aljezur (Machado et al. 2018), or indeed, historical heritage (Fonseca and Ramos 2012). Cultural heritage may bring about specific outcomes for a balanced regional development in Portugal (Guedes and Martin Jimenez 2015), but may also assist in maintaining regional identities (Guerreiro et al. 2019), as well as, sporting activities (Perna et  al. 2019), or even alternative tourism (Taboadela et al. 2018). Slow tourism may be another interesting approach, mainly, for municipalities which have a low population density (Losada and Mota 2019). The new technologies of information and communication are determinant tools nowadays for every socioeconomic activity, including the tourism sector (Machado et al. 2020). In the associated digital platforms, some Portuguese municipal brands appear with great relevance (Dinis et al. 2017). In fact, the territorial brands have their importance for the performance of the municipal economic sectors, so they may contribute to the brands’ rankings such as the Portugal City Brand, for example (Ferreira and Dionisio 2019). In general, the municipal websites highlight both culinary and architectural resources (Pineiro-Naval and Serra 2019). Nonetheless, climate change and the extreme environmental phenomena pose as real threats to municipal strategies in the long run (Barros et al. 2015), including the Algarve (Martinez-Grana et al. 2016). Sometimes, tourism activities are net contributors to global warming (Russo et al. 2020). Indeed, local conditions and standards are dynamic and consequently the strategies designed should be adjustable to permanent changes within these territorial contexts (Freire 2016). In any case, Portugal has singular touristic conditions with a great potential to be explored (Mira-Perez 2018), where the local stakeholders’ involvement, including in policy design, is crucial (Remoaldo et al. 2017). Global warming and the weak tourism diversification are two effective threats that make the touristic dynamics in Portugal vulnerable (Samora-Arvela et al. 2020). Following the trends described, the main objective of this research is to analyse the context of the tourism sector in Portugal, at a municipal level, both before and after the Covid-19 pandemic. For this purpose a bibliometric analysis and also a data analysis were performed on the tourism sector in Portugal. The bibliometric analysis was carried out through the VOSviewer software (van Eck and Waltman 2020; VOSviewer 2020) for 646 documents found in the WoS Core Collection (Web of Science 2020) for the topics “tourism” and “Portugal” (the search was carried out on 28 August 2020). For the data analysis the statistical information available in Statistics Portugal (INE 2020)as considered and was worked through the Stata software (StataCorp. 2017a, b; Stata 2020) procedures.

2  Bibliometric Analysis Figure 1 and Table 1 reveal that the keywords with more occurrences (number of documents in which a keyword appears), for the topics “tourism” and “Portugal” are the following: tourism; Portugal; management; model; satisfaction; sustainability; rural tourism; destination; consumption; destination image; impact; performance; competitiveness; experience; perceptions; heritage; image; impacts; quality; Algarve. These occurrences show the importance of the Algarve for Portuguese tourism as well as other aspects such as satisfaction, image, perceptions, heritage and quality. In turn, Algarve and “sustainable development” are older keywords (Avg. pub. Year) and “social media” is the most recent. The average citations obtained by the documents in which the keywords appear (Avg. citations) are higher for loyalty, image, consumption, rural tourism and Algarve. When considered the Avg. norm. Citations the keywords ‘impact’ and ‘social media’ appear first (Table. 1). For a total of 321 sources, Table 2 reveals that the publications with more documents are the following: Pasos-Revista de Turismo y Patrimonio Cultural; Tourism Economics; Journal of Coastal Research; Rosa dos Ventos-Turismo e Hospitalidade; Proceedings of the second International Conference on Tourism Research; Journal of Spatial and Organizational Dynamics; Worldwide Hospitality and Tourism

Themes; Sustainability. This context shows the transversal dimension of the tourism fields. Table 3 demonstrates that for a total of 1000 authors, Carlos Costa, Celeste Eusébio, Antónia Correia, Elisabeth Kastenholz and Sandra Correia Loureiro are the researchers with more documents. The number of documents for these authors range between 17 for Carlos Costa and 9 for Sandra Loureiro. The great majority of the authors have only 1 document, showing that there are fields to explore, namely, in the creation of more networking and specialised groups in these fields. The University of the Algarve and the University of Aveiro are the organizations with more documents about these topics (93 and 84, respectively), from a total of 584 institutions (Table 4). In addition, the organizations with ten or more documents are all Portuguese. In turn, the majority of these institutions have only one document. There are also fields here to be explored further through greater networking, namely with international organizations. Finally, Table 5 suggests that after Portugal; Spain, England, Brazil, Italy, USA, Germany, France and Greece are the countries of the authors’ affiliations with 10 or more documents about the topics addressed here, in a total of 56 countries. Table 5 also shows that there is a great concentration of documents from Portuguese affiliations (493 documents, when the second country with more documents is Spain with 86).

average, are the following: Lisbon; Albufeira; Porto; Loulé; Portimão; Funchal. This reveals that Portuguese tourists prefer more mainland destinations. When considering the average overnight stays in tourist accommodation establishments by non-residents (Fig. 4), the six leading regions are those presented as follows: Lisboa; Albufeira; Funchal; Porto; Loulé; Portimão. Considering the monthly average (from January until May) growth rate (%), over the period 2013–2019, by municipality (Table  6), Porto Santo, Lagos, Portimão, Lagoa, Ourém and Tavira were the municipalities with higher increases for the total overnight stays (87%, 61%, 58%, 57%, 53% and 47%, respectively, on average per month). Funchal holds the worst growth rates (9% on average per month). The ­overnight stays by national and foreign residents have grown more, also, in Porto Santo (86% and 117%, respectively, on average per month). When considering the first 5 months of 2020 (Table 7), the worst context for total overnight stays are for Ourém (−22% on average per month), Funchal (−20%), Lisboa (−19%) and Santa Cruz (−16%). The overnight stays by Portuguese residents decreased more in Funchal, Ourém, Lagoa and Lisboa. The overnight stays by foreign residents have more accentuated decreases in Évora, Cascais, Funchal, Braga and Lisboa. The monthly average (from January until May) homologous growth rate (%), over the period 2013–2019, by municipality (Table  8), were higher, for the total overnight stays, in Porto Santo and Ponta Delgada (52% and 19%, respectively, on average per month). Santa Cruz, Vila Real de Santo António and Funchal had the lower average growth rates. Porto Santo and Ponta Delgada are, also, the leading municipalities for the overnight stay average growth rates by Portuguese residents,

jointly with Vila Real de Santo António, Lagos and Albufeira. When only considering the overnight stays from foreign residents, the higher average growth rates were verified in Porto Santo, Almada, Braga, Faro and Porto and weaker performances were found for Vila Real de Santo António, Santa Cruz and Funchal. For the monthly (from January until May) homologous growth rate (%), for the year 2020, by municipality (Table 9) the more dramatic contexts for total overnight stays are for some municipalities from the Algarve (namely, Faro, Vila Real de Santo António, Lagoa, Portimão and Albufeira) from Lisboa (as well as neighbouring municipalities such as Cascais and Sintra) and from Braga. When solely considering overnight stays by Portuguese residents, the municipalities with more negative growth rates are the following: Vila Real de Santo António; Porto; Braga; Lisboa; Sintra; Cascais; Loulé and Portimão. For overnight stays from foreign residents, the worst contexts are for Faro; Cascais; Lagoa; Coimbra; Portimão; Lisboa; Vila Nova de Gaia; Vila Real de Santo António; Sintra and Braga.

4  Conclusions With this study the intention was to highlight contributions to the evolution of the tourism sector, at the Portuguese municipalities’ level, both before and after the Covid-19 pandemic. For this purpose a bibliometric analysis covering the tourism sector in Portugal was first carried out and later the statistical information, disaggregated at a municipal level, for the total overnight stays in touristic accommodation establishments and for the overnight stays by Portuguese and foreign residents was also assessed. For the bibliometric analysis, the procedures proposed by the VOSviewer software were considered and for the data analysis the statistical information available in the Portugal Statistics institution was used.

The literature review highlights the importance of the Portuguese municipalities in the promotion of the tourism sector and to support an adjusted strategy that allows for a better exploitation of the endogenous resources through sustainable plans. In any case, the supramunicipal and supranational governance and cooperation also have their relevance. The municipal specific resources, such as the rivers, mountains, landscapes, gastronomy, traditions and historical heritage should be considered for segmented strategies and for building municipal brands. The bibliometric analysis stresses the importance, for tourism in Portugal, from keywords such as: management; satisfaction; sustainability; rural tourism; image; competitiveness; quality; perceptions. The great wars in the marketing world are relative to consumers’ perceptions and here the image and the quality are crucial for an effective competitiveness of the sector. In turn, the bibliometric indicators for the authors, organizations and countries reveal that there are fields to be explored in terms of creating greater networking and specialised groups, namely, involving more cooperation between Portuguese institutions and international partnerships. The statistical survey shows that, on average over the period January 2013 – May 2020, the Portuguese municipalities for Lisboa, Porto, Funchal and others from the Algarve region are amongst those with more total overnight stays in accommoda-

Fig. 4  Distribution of overnight stays in tourist accommodation establishments by non-residents, by municipality (including total) and over the monthly period January 2013–May 2020 Note: 1, Total; 2, Lisboa; 3, Albufeira; 4, Funchal; 5, Porto; 6, Loulé; 7, Portimão; 8, Lagoa; 9, Cascais; 10, Lagos; 11, Ponta Delgada; 12, VR Sto António; 13, Ourém; 14, Santa Cruz; 15, Tavira; 16, VN Gaia; 17, Coimbra; 18, Sintra; 19, Évora; 20, Braga; 21, Faro; 22, Matosinhos; 23, Almada; 24, Porto Santo; 25, others

tion establishments. When compared, the overnight stays by residents and non-­ residents in Portugal, the main difference is observed for Funchal. In fact, in decreasing order for the number of overnight stays, Funchal appears earlier for foreign residents. Considering the average monthly growth rates for the period January 2013 – May 2020, despite some municipalities from the Algarve, the higher growth rates for the total overnight stays were verified in Porto Santo and Ourém, which may be a good sign of a more balanced development outside the traditional locations for mass tourism. With the pandemic the municipalities which were affected more were Funchal and Lisboa, but, also, Ourém, Évora, Santa Cruz and Braga. In homologous terms, Porto Santo and Ponta Delgada appear to have had a good performance before the pandemic for the first 5 months of each year in the period 2013–2019. With the pandemic, in homologous terms and on average, the worst contexts were verified in some municipalities of the Algarve, Lisboa and Braga. The pandemic’s impact was asymmetric across the Portuguese municipalities, which calls for differentiated strategies in order to recover the sector, considering the specific conditions for each case. The insights presented here may be an interesting contribution towards supporting the design of new policy instruments.
