Creating an attractive destination able to compete with others that are better positioned and consolidated requires cooperative behaviour among the various agents involved. This behaviour will facilitate both external and internal competition, which in turn will assure better product quality, continuous product renewal, a strong offer of unique experiences and the efficient use of endogenous resources. In this paper, the authors discuss the results of a survey of restaurant owners and of interviews conducted with the main institutional agents concerned with tourism promotion and the economic development of the Minho\u2013Lima region. Such an approach, the authors argue, can be valuable in identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the area in question with regard to future tourism development. The authors work from the premise that the commitment of tourism agents constitutes a precondition for the success of the strategy to be defined. This is especially applicable to Minho\u2013Lima, which to date has suffered from an absence of commitment and coordination on the part of those agents. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5367\/000000010791305653","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,9,21]],"date-time":"2010-09-21T04:06:27Z","timestamp":1285041987000},"page":"385-404","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Portugal's Minho\u2013Lima Region as a Tourist Destination: Tourism Operators' Attitudes towards its Management and Promotion"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Cadima","family":"Ribeiro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"EEG and NIPE, Universidade do Minho, Campus do Gualtar, 4710 Braga, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Laurentina Cruz","family":"Vareiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IPCA-ESG, Campus do IPCA, 4750-810 Barcelos, Portugal"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-000000010791305653","first-page":"27","volume":"15","author":"Bercial R.","year":"2005","journal-title":"Cuadernos de Turismo"},{"volume-title":"Turismo en espacio rural.
