What is TWine about?
TWine aims to study the co-creation of tourist experiences in rural wine tourism destinations, focusing on the Bairrada, Dão and Beira Interior routes, located between the coast and the interior of the Centre region.
To deepen the methodologies and results of a previous project on the integral experience in rural areas in Portugal (ORTE -PTDC/CS-GEO/104894/2008 project), the action-research project aims to exchange information between researchers, communities, development agents and stakeholders in tourism and the wine sector.
Objectives
- Encourage sustainable rural development in the eno-destinations studied, based on new forms of business based on endogenous resources
- Foster a local development model that can be replicated in other wine-growing regions
- Promote wine tourism routes that benefit economies, communities and visitors
