HENRIQUES, Cláudia  and  GOUVEIA, Pedro. Tourism demand among Higher Education students in Portugal: a comparative regional analysis. TMStudies [online]. 2013, vol.9, n.2, pp.57-64. ISSN 2182-8458.

This article presents a study on the characteristics of Portuguese youth tourism demand, such as students in Higher Education. The size and scope of the territorial sample collected allows a characterization of this segment of demand, by Portuguese regions/NUT II. At the same time, it is possible to distinguish the main High students tourism motivations and the existence of factors that induce a territorial differentiation. It is important to note that in Portugal this segment of tourism demand is quite unexplored and more research is needed.

Keywords : youth tourism; higher education; students; tourism demand; regions/NUT II.
