Abstract

This article examines anglers’ opinions about the destination, angler profiles and business revenues of touristic big-game fishing in the island of Saint Michael, Azores (Portugal). For this purpose, a survey was carried out among visitors who engaged in that activity and vessels’ owners. In addition, some information was gathered from official data sources. The results reveal that this activity already generates a reasonable contribution to the touristic revenue of the island. There is also evidence based on respondents’ opinions that such an emerging market niche has the potential to expand and compete with other touristic regions in the practice of this recreational activity.
