Abstract

This work studies creative literary tourism, as well as the potential of this type of tourism for tourist destinations, in general, and for literary tourists, in particular. ways that this tourism can enhance benefits to tourist destinations and literary tourists. Thus, the reflection is divided into two parts: the first, the most theoretical component, focuses on considerations that delimit the concept of creative literary tourism and on its particularities; the second, the practical component, is linked to the particular case of the literary city of Coimbra and Miguel Torga (Portugal). Coimbra has good resources and sustainable products for a more or less specialized search, with material and immaterial testimonies of the presence, over time, of several writers. In this context, a creative literary route in Coimbra is proposed, based on the case of the writer Miguel Torga, who lived and died in Coimbra.
