Nesta dissertação pretende-se analisar o estado actual do património arqueológico náutico e subaquático em Portugal, apresentando-se os princípios para um modelo para a valorização do património arqueológico subaquático, em particular no que se refere às potencialidades do Arqueoturismo. Neste sentido, na primeira parte da tese é analisado sumariamente o estado actual do turismo, bem como, a caracterização do arqueoturismo, realçando-se a importância dos parques arqueológicos. São igualmente analisadas questões que se prendem com a arqueologia náutica e subaquática, nomeadamente no que respeita à valorização e salvaguarda dos sítios arqueológicos. Posteriormente apresentam-se alguns modelos de gestão de sítios arqueoturísticos existentes ao nível nacional e internacional. O resultado final resulta num exercício de reflexão geral sobre a importância do turismo cultural e da afirmação do arqueoturismo subaquático e náutico enquanto produto de excelência, recomendando-se que sejam equacionadas políticas efectivas de gestão através de novos e adequados modelos a esta nova realidade. The proposal of this thesis is to question the nautical and archaeological heritage in Portugal, evaluating the principles for a model in order to emphasize the importance of underwater arqueology, mainly in what concerns the importance of archeo-tourism. In effect, the first part of this work is the analyses of the current state of tourism as well the feature of the archaeo-tourism, emphasizing the importance of archaeological parks. Then are analyzed issues about nautical and underwater archeology, namely about protection and preservation of underwater sites. I finish with the presentation of some models of archeo-turistical management of national and international sites. The final results was an exercise of general reflections on the significant of cultural tourism and the affirmation of nautical and underwater archaeology, like an alternate product of development with an adequate policy model of management, to this new reality.
