Tourism policy instruments: an empirical analysis of Portuguese local governments Artigo de Conferência uri icon

resumo

  • Is quite acceptable that tourism activity is intensely subject to market failures and, naturally, requires government intervention. At the same time, it’s points out that government intervention is another source of policy failure. Attending this situation, we investigate the importance of public policy instruments in Public Administration field, as a new approach to solving public problems related with market failures, while considering possible negative impacts of the intervention itself. These public policy instruments have been applied to several issues, including tourism policy. In this sense, we intend with this work to examine the tourism policy instruments applied to the Portuguese municipalities context.
