Presentation
The Master’s Degree in Tourism and Innovation comes as a result of the need to provide a response to the demands of the market in relation to the challenges that the pandemic brought to professionals in the sector.
Although tourism is one of the industries that has grown most in recent decades and that generates most wealth, it was recently shaken by the pandemic and its effects worldwide, leading to significant changes in consumer behaviour, expectations and demands. The recent developments and changes show that higher education offerings must necessarily keep pace with circumstantial and sectoral transformations, aiming to contribute to the enhancement of professional skills. In this context, and knowing that human resources are a decisive factor in the competitiveness of tourism companies and destinations, it is vital for higher education in tourism to adjust and provide responses to market dynamics and demands.
The aims defined for the study cycle are part of the IPVC training programme, which includes the tourism area as one of its development priorities. This is where the current study cycle comes in, particularly through using innovative curricular plans and teaching and learning processes that are suited to the different audiences. The increase in competitiveness in the tourism sector at international level forces tourist destinations to have a constant policy of developing its human resources, giving them skills for the development of innovative, socio-professional participation and high added value as a way of ensuring their international competitiveness. More precisely, the Tourism and Innovation study cycle is in line with the institution’s educational, scientific and cultural project, which is aimed at assuring the definition of the training programme through dialogue and important instrumental knowledge for local, regional and national tourism development needs, highlighting the following points:
Gain/reinforce specialised knowledge and skills in tourism; reinforce network contacts (networking); increase opportunities for internationalisation; extend employability and professional experience opportunities in a practical context (national and international); leverage the professional career; gain greater professional recognition; image of tourism training at ESTG-IPVC; publish scientific papers and take part in national and international conferences.

“O Mestrado proporcionou-me a realização de um estágio curricular, que eu sempre quis, para que contribuísse para a minha experiência profissional e pessoal. Estagiei no Centro de Juventude de Braga. Foi, sem dúvida, um grande desafio, também pelo facto do Centro estar na fase de arranque.
Foi extremamente gratificante poder contribuir de forma ativa e ter tido um excelente acolhimento. Hoje, tenho o prazer dizer que trabalho no Centro de Juventude de Braga, dando assim continuidade a este desafio”

“Depois de terminar a licenciatura em Turismo no IPVC e de adquirir alguma experiência profissional, percebi que queria especializar-me na área do turismo outdoor. Para isso, foi de extrema importância contar com a orientação de docentes do mestrado em Turismo do IPVC, para além do apoio e formação por parte dos professores do Mestrado Desporto Natureza do IPVC. Uma das vantagens do mestrado de Turismo é poder contar com um corpo docente especializado em Turismo que orienta e que ajuda aqueles que, tal como eu, têm a ambição de seguir uma carreira prática, mas também académica ou de investigação”
