Welcome to TERRITUR

This is the website of the research group on Tourism, Heritage & Space (TERRITUR) at the Centre for Geographical Studies (CEG), Institute of Geography and Spatial Planning of the University of Lisbon (IGOT-ULisboa). We are a multidisciplinary group of scholars joined by the curiosity to explore the ways in which culture, nature and places are produced, transformed and consumed through tourism. We are proud to be one of the oldest and largest research groups studying and writing about tourism in Portugal.

A new Routledge book with TERRITUR's signature

How does tourism and urban development affect the lived ambiances of contemporary cities around the world? As most of the existing literature on sensory atmospheres says little about the intersection between tourism and atmospheric production, Ambiance, Tourism and the City affirms the centrality of the notion of ambiance as a mode of inquiry into the making and remaking of urban places for tourist consumption. The TERRITUR's researcher Daniel Paiva is a co-editor.
