| Resumo: | Urban tourism is one of the most popular forms of tourism, but it remains an understudied phenomenon, particularly in terms of tourists’ spatiotemporal behaviour. The aim of this research is to analyse the spatiotemporal behaviour of the backpacker tourists in an urban destination classified as World Heritage. Data collection was done through a questionnaire survey (n = 292) and a GPS App to track backpacker tourist movements (n = 82) during a visit day to Porto, Portugal. All the thematic cartography was developed with QGIS 3.2.0 software. A map with the movements performed by all backpacker tourists; a map with the intensity of the backpacker movements (passages by area, 50 × 50 m) and a map with the distribution of the total length of stay by area (50 × 50 m), allowed the identification of the main hotspots as well as the non-visited territories in Porto urban area. Relevant contributions for destination managers are presented and discussed. |
