L-Tour

Serviços para IPT

For teaching staff, degree programmes and students of the Polytechnic University of Tomar, L-TOUR works as an applied research infrastructure.

• Protocols and instruments: data-collection forms, codebooks, observation guides and questionnaires for course units that wish to work with real data without starting from scratch.
• Data for teaching and research: access to the datasets the laboratory builds with course units, for coursework, dissertations and articles, under citation and data-protection rules.
• Methodological support: questionnaire design, statistical analysis and modelling, including factor analysis, structural equation modelling and composite indices.
• Fieldwork support: letters of introduction to municipalities and heritage managers, and liaison with the laboratory's partners.
• Internships and early-career researchers: hosting of curricular internships and integration of students and graduates into the network of early-career corresponding researchers.
• Complementary training: short courses, seminars and micro-credentials in tourism, open to students and the wider community.
