Abstract

Technological developments and the emergence of information and communication technologies (ICT) have enabled the labor market to reinvent itself, promoting new forms of work and leisure, and consequently promoting the growth of new market segments, such as digital nomads. This study aims to evaluate the impact of digital nomadism on small and medium-sized destinations. The overall objective is to identify Amarante’s potential as a destination for digital nomads. The study’s specific objectives are to: identify Amarante’s tourism supply and gaps for digital nomads; analyze Amarante’s positioning in terms of digital nomads; identify nomads’ motivations and behavior toward the destination; analyze nomads’ profiles in Amarante. To analyze Amarante’s potential as a destination for digital nomads, a mixed methodology was adopted: individual exploratory interviews were conducted with members of the local authority, followed by a questionnaire for digital nomads interested in learning about Amarante. Based on the analysis of the results, it was possible to verify that Amarante had several tourism products and resources that meet the needs of digital nomads, although strategies still need to be developed to attract this segment.
