Abstract

The thematic literature demonstrates that some tourism typologies, such as, rural or creative tourism, have a more prevailing function in obtaining regional development. Thus, this article examines creative tourism as a potential catalyst for regional economic development in ultra-peripheral territories by analyzing pilot-projects of creative tourism in the Autonomous Portuguese Region of the Azores. Through the study, it was possible to verify, once more, an empirical nexus between creative tourism projects and regional economic development.
