Abstract<br />

Sport and tourism have been a real alternative on looking for new Portuguese <strong>de</strong>stinations.<br />

Golf is the one that better represents this fact. This article is part of a thesis which has the<br />

goal to know the golf tourist that visits Ma<strong>de</strong>ira Islands. The advisement involves a random<br />

sample of the golf tourist that visits Ma<strong>de</strong>ira Islands and its three Golf Courses and an<br />

anonymous questionary to the same tourists. The results will conce<strong>de</strong> if there is or isn’t a<br />

sportive tourist in Ma<strong>de</strong>ira Islands named golf tourist. The i<strong>de</strong>ntification of the tourist profile<br />

will allow the recognition of the segment features. These characteristics will contribute to<br />

<strong>de</strong>fine future strategies to <strong>de</strong>velop Golf Tourism in Ma<strong>de</strong>ira Islands as well as to un<strong>de</strong>rstand<br />

if there are differences between Ma<strong>de</strong>ira Islands Golf and Algarve Golf.<br />

Keywords: Tourism; Sport; Golf; Profile.<br />
