Resumen
- português
  Este estudo apresenta a validação empírica de uma escala destinada a medir os fatores territoriais que contribuem para a internacionalização dos destinos turísticos. Faz parte de uma investigação mais ampla, em que foram identificados os fatores de internacionalização dos destinos, reforçando a perspetiva sistémica do turismo: 'território', 'produto', 'governança' e 'DMO'. Aqui apresentam-se as propriedades psicométricas dos itens que operacionalizam a dimensão "território". O questionário foi administrado a 470 DMO portuguesas com responsabilidades nas áreas do turismo e do desenvolvimento local ou regional. Os itens da escala foram submetidos a análises de conteúdo, confiabilidade e validações psicométricas por meio de análises fatoriais exploratória (análise em componentes principais) e confirmatória (estruturas fatoriais de primeira e de segunda ordem). Os dados sustentam uma estrutura fatorial composta pelos fatores "recursos", "atividade económica" e 'limites', correspondentes a dimensões territoriais influentes na internacionalização dos destinos. Determinou-se a relação entre as opões políticas de internacionalização e as caraterísticas geográficas, culturais e económicas dos territórios. Esta relação constitui os alicerces do turismo em momentos de crise, como a que vivemos atualmente.

  This study presents an empirical validation of the territorial factors which contribute to the internationalization of tourism destinations. It is part of a broader investigation in which the dimensions and factors of tourism destinations’ internationalization were identified and four dimensions were validated: ‘territory’, ‘product’, ‘governance’ and ‘DMOs’. Here we present the path taken in terms of explaining the 'territorial' dimension. A cross-sectional study was carried out on Portuguese DMOs (n=470) with responsibilities in the areas of tourism and local or regional development. A questionnaire was elaborated and submitted to content, reliability and construct validations through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. For this purpose, we considered both a first and second order factor structure. The results sustain that the territorial factors influencing the internationalization of destinations are ‘resources’ (Factor 1), ‘economic activity’ (Factor 2) and ‘border’ (Factor 3). The relationship between political options of destinations’ internationalization and territories’ geographical, cultural and economic characteristics were determined. It is this relationship that forms the foundation of tourism in times of crisis, such as we are currently experiencing.
