Resumo (PT): Utilizando um conceito de competitividade regional que articula os mais importantes factores de competitividade para avaliar as estratégias económicas regionais, e aplicando este conceito à NUT III Douro, mostra-se que esta região é relativamente fraca em termos de articulações internas, sujeita a envelhecimento e emigração e com falta de inovação e empreendorismo, para além de estar isolada dos grandes mercados. Em tais circunstâncias, definir apenas como prioridade o turismo é claramente insuficiente como estratégia de convergência. Assim, depois de avaliar os resultados desta estratégia, o artigo termina com uma conclusão extensiva a outras regiões deprimidas: as regiões atrasadas que procuram convergir com base no turismo não podem confiar apenas numa combinação de recursos ambientais e marketing, mas têm também que ter em conta os outros factores de competitividade.
Abstract (EN): Using a framework that articulates the most important factors of competitiveness to evaluate the regional economic strategies, and applying this framework to the Portuguese NUT III Douro, we show that this region is relatively weak in terms of internal linkages, subject to ageing and out-migration and lacking in innovation and entrepreneurship, apart from being isolated from mass markets. With these characteristics, to define only the priority to tourism is clearly insufficient for convergence. So, after assessing the results of such strategy, the paper ends with a conclusion that is extensive to other regions: the lagging regions, which are trying to converge with the more developed ones based on tourism, cannot only rely on a combination of environmental resources and marketing, but have to attend to other factors of competitiveness as well.
