Os impactos dos fundos comunitários Europeus no desenvolvimento do turismo

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to analyze the economic and financial situation of the tourism sector in the North of Portugal (NUT II), relating its competitiveness and innovation to growth indicators, through a comparative analysis of companies active in 2006. - 2016. This analysis was developed based on the Simplified Business Information (IES) of the Iberian Balance Sheet System (SABI). The analysis and treatment of the economic and financial indicators for 11 611 active companies was carried out. In addition, it was intended to investigate in particular the companies located in the region financed by the Innovation Incentive System allocated to the field of competitiveness and innovation within the scope of the National Strategic Reference Framework (NSRF), through the application of an analysis methodology against factual. We can conclude that there is a direct relationship between the nine indicators analyzed (VN, ROA, GVA, PAT, LQD, AF, SOLV, END and EBE), and the vast majority of indicators showed negative growth rates above 35%, not presenting any competitive, innovative or productive advantage for companies. We also prove the existence of a direct cause-effect relationship between the receipt of the incentive and the competitiveness factors, namely, there is a positive relationship in productive terms, on the other hand there is also a negative relationship in financial terms.
