5 Scope TOURISM 2017 TOURISM nd International Conference on Global Tourism and Sustainability was endorsed by the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) thus recognising the relevance of the initiative. As in the previous edition, the conference aimed at discussing the role of tourism with reference to the adoption of the Post-2015 Development Agenda, namely the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The World Tourism Organization (UNTWO) emphasizes the role of tourism regarding the SDGs related to inclusive and sustainable economic growth (Goal 8), sustainable consumption and production (Goal 12), and the sustainable use of oceans and marine resources (Goal 14) (UNTWO, 2015). However, as stated in the same document, as a global activity, tourism has a broader influence on sustainability goals and may contribute to the implementation of all SDGs by: - Improving human and communities welfare, by reducing poverty and hunger; - Improving countries development as well as citizens equality, health, education and inclusivity; - Promoting the preservation of cultural identities and cultural and natural heritage; - Contributing to gender equality; - Ensuring access to resources (water, energy) and food in an affordable way, as well as sustainable production and consumption; - Promoting partnerships, economic growth and fair work; - Building low impact infrastructures; - Reducing actions and procedures that contribute to climate change; - Protecting terrestrial and oceanic ecosystems. Thus, the commitment of tourism activities with sustainability goals endorses new ways of thinking, planning and managing tourism activities. Awareness on these questions embraces all the actors (politicians, investors, companies and citizens) that may decide, from their different standpoints, on how to take the road of sustainability. In the future, for instance, travelling will be more demanding, regarding sustainability goals, and will certainly change the paradigm of tourism. Tourism sustainability goals will certainly bring many changes, from the way tourists travel, to the way infrastructures are built, the way local people interact with visitors, or the way urban and rural landscapes and natural areas accommodate the flow of tourists. Tourism is not a gold mine, but may be part of the solution for local and regional development, for natural and cultural preservation and for bringing closer different people, thus paving the way for a more equal and conscious global community. 3

KEYNOTE SPEECH: A TOURISM DESTINATION QUALITY ÍNDEX: A CASE IN ALGARVE, PORTUGAL Abstract: Research on the quality of destinations has been developed from the tourists' perspective, and a more holistic view is necessary for integrated destination planning. This implies cooperation among multiple stakeholders and the sustainable use of resources. The purpose of this study is to establish a conceptual model to measure the quality of destinations, considering the concepts of governance, sustainability, and tourist experience. According to the index, that used data from Algarve region, the performance of a destination depends on these three main dimensions, each one measured by a set of subdimensions that were weighted by an international expert panel. The result provides guidelines for transfer of knowledge to the main destinations stakeholders. 5

13 Venue TOURISM 2017 The city of Lagos TOURISM 2017will be held at Lagos, an ancient town on the west part of Algarve (called Barlavento). The region of Lagos is sometimes considered as one of the most beautiful landscapes of the southern coast of Portugal mainly because of its small and almost unreachable beaches and imposing cliffs. The climate is mild, the gastronomy is very rich and the people are friendly. Unlike other Algarve regions, Lagos was not invaded by high buildings and its historical city centre is well preserved and deserves a visit. The narrow pedestrian streets, bars and restaurants, as well as monuments and traditional architecture houses welcome the visitors in a friendly manner. Lagos has a resident population of circa inhabitants, which increases considerably during Summer months. Its history is more than years old: it's named after a Celtic settlement and it was then occupied by Carthage and Rome, conquered by the Visigoths and then by the Moors in the 8th century a.c. The Christian conquerors only arrived in the mid 13th century and therefore the Muslim traditions had time to settle and gain its roots in this region. During the discoveries Lagos became a very important centre and its slave marked is one of physicals evidences of that period - a place with some stories to tell... More recently Lagos gained importance due to the tourism and to the beauty of its natural landscape but traditional ways remained and deserves a careful visit. 11

14 TOURISM 2017 The Cultural Centre of Lagos The venue will take place in the Centro Cultural de Lagos, located at "Rua Lançarote de Freitas, n.º 7". The CCL Centro Cultural de Lagos is a multidisciplinary space for the production and presentation of cultural activities, with special emphasis on events in the field of performing arts and visual arts.
