OLIVEIRA, Nuno. Alfred Smith (1822-1898), pioneiro do turismo ornitológico em Portugal. GOT [online]. 2015, n.7, pp.271-282. ISSN 2182-1267. https://doi.org/10.17127/got/2015.7.012.
Early Portugal was an ornithological tourism destination (ecotourism) and Alfred Smith was one of the first, if not the first, tourist to come to Portugal in 1868, motivated by interest in the birds. The book he published contains an unprecedented list of birds of Portugal, who only found because the librarian of the New York Academy of Sciences add to the title, the bibliographic record "with a chapter on the birds of Portugal, and a list of 235 species carefully determined". Today the ornithological tourism and ecotourism already are developing at a good rate and the species of Iberian birds (together with the landscape, flora and fauna) are a tourism product in which to invest and that values essentially the interior regions.
