Tourism Animation
Tourism animation is born from the contemporary tourist who seeks a
participative tourism, which provides him with various emotions and contribute
to raise his satisfaction levels (Silva, 2013).
Tourism animation is desirably, in a logic of sustainable tourism, a cultural, social
and economic activity that involves communities and tourists in multifaceted
and complementary activities that are embodied in spaces of growth and
individual and collective emancipation of all involved.(Almeida & Araújo,
2017)

“The great contribution of cultural animation is to concretely
implement a sense of revolution related to the breaking of
monotony and the construction of a radical idea of freedom of
choice. And this is not only about an individual process of
choice, but the implementation of an alternative collective
construction.”Mello (2018, p. 417
)

Tourism animation “can be pointed out as a factor of high importance for the economic development of the region where it operates, such as through the creation of jobs at local level and complementary income for
host communities, by increasing the length of stay and spending of tourists” (Parreira, 2015, pg19).

The management of Tourism Animation
• Tourism Animation Management is the competence to manage the clients’ emotions, existing resources at the destination and the region’s development. There are several factors that can influence its management:
• Motives and needs of the tourist;
• Origin, culture and history of the tourist;
• Ethics and religion of the tourist;
• Destination diversification and resources
• Destination’s relationship with the tourist market;
• Destination limitation and resources;
• Acceptance of the resident community;
• Legal and economic norms regulating the area.

The management of Tourism Animation is to ensure the viability of the activity without exhausting the resources in order to reach the rupture or saturation in order to give value to the satisfaction of tourists.
Achieving the desirable objectives is necessary in the first line, identify the main objective, what is intended to offer and what end result is expected to achieve.
For a strategic and participatory planning is essential to observe what is around.
Planning must comply with methodologies and management processes, which promote the value chain, involving public and private entities that directly and / or indirectly related to the tourism sector.
The management of Tourism Animation is decisive in advancing competitiveness through competence and success

The Animation Manager
The manager of the Tourist Animation is responsible for the supervision from the idealization, planning, execution
and evaluation, always bearing in mind the functions and phases of the TA. It is the leader who organizes, manages
and coordinates the entire logistical process of the activity.
The manager of the Tourist Animation has a plurality of functions that materializes in a vast field of action, which
assists in the demarcation of the tourist destination:
• Promoter and consultant of outlined activities.
• Is aware of and understands the segment’s needs
• Attentive both individually and collectively (team of collaborators)
• Is a vitalizing element in “Tourism systems”, is a professional with a critical sense and uses strategy as a working tool • Is a leader with specific technical skills that provide tools to overcome any difficulty, finding solutions, always
bearing in mind the welfare of the individual and collective
• Is aware of the values, ethics, practices and traditions that surround him/her both internally (employees) and
externally (tourist destination)
• Integrating personal differences to create a group dynamic (personal – collective)
• Is attentive to and perceives the involvement of the elements, assesses all perspectives • Is an aggregator and bridge between various elements
• Is a builder of the showcase of the tourist destination

Planning –
What is the outlook for the
future,
what is feasible, possible,
important and necessary;
How to idealise a promising
future;
Which processes are
necessary to reach the desired
goal.
Planning is not an easy task, but it is essential for achieving goals and
objectives.
Planning outlines the objectives to be reached and how to get there.
Basic questions you should ask initially:

Animation managers should not have the exclusivity to plan alone, they
should gather their staff to analyze all perspectives.
The difference of opinion is not a barrier, but rather a facilitator of
solutions.
2

Design thinking (DT) in Tourism Animation planning
DT is a collective and collaborative way of exposing ideas, where visions and perspectives are explored for the search of
solutions. A creative way of clarifying solutions, without ever forgetting that understanding the human being is at its
core.
DT in tourism animation promotes the offer attending the real needs of the tourist, helps to reduce mistakes with
prototyping and verifications before the final proposal. DT is a tool that assists in the design of the tourism experience.
• Pillars of DT in tourism:
• Research – knowing the problem
• Synthesis – defining the problem
• Design – develop and create possibilities
• Testing – prototype of the offer
• Implementation – tourism offer in the market

Well executed planning follows several items:
– Viability – achievable objectives;
– Adequacy – development in harmony with the objectives;
– Coherence – the plan may have several “sub-plans”, but
they should have unity among themselves;
– Malleability – adaptation to the circumstance/unforeseen;
– Precision – exclude ambiguities.

Planning also requires attention to aspects that run from the embryonic phase to the closure of the activity, such as:
Before
Coordination of the program
Choosing the staff by skills and functions
Organizing the staff
Organizing the spaces
Checklist and timetable
Scheduling of activities
Listing of technical equipment and material
Development of communication
Pre-activity
Check list – verification if everything is prepared
Meeting with the team, each element should know what must be done, where, how, why and when.

During
Ongoing control and coordination (when, how much, how and where)
Inspection of compliance with the program
Keeping an eye on what is happening
Managing stakeholder expectations
After
Evaluation of the procedures carried out to analyze the success or failure of the activity
Checking points to enhance and correct
Evaluation of the activity/satisfaction of the participants
Debriefing – analysis of all procedures in order to analyze what was done successfully and
what was not.

Participant segmentation

Example of a Buyer persona (ideal buyer): Jorge
30/03/2022 Autoria de Anabela Monteiro
The activity could have two sides, one that contemplates the adventure and one that satisfies his family needs.
Jorge likes adventure, so we must design a program that satisfies this aspect. But he is a person who uses the
Internet as a source of information and prefers to stay loyal to brands. On another point, he says that family is
very important and should be separated from professional life. Jorge is also a good fork! Jorge contacted your
company to find an activity. How to build an attractive activity for Jorge? How to combine all his characteristics?

• Proposal:
• Duration: 2 days
• Place: Pena Aventura (Gerês)
• Accommodation: Quinta Travessa – Gerês | Stay at Typical Family House
• 1st day
• 10h00 – Reception of the participants
• 10h30 – Presentation of the Family Adventure Program
• Alpine Coaster
• Alpine Coaster Kids
• Adventure Kids Course (from 5 to 11 years old)
• 11h00 – Beginning of the Activity
• 13h00 – Picnic at the picnic area
