Dr. Ferreira's research is centered around the intersection of tourism, entrepreneurship and community development, looking at the psychological and environmental antecedents of tourism microentrepreneurship among individuals with vulnerable livelihoods. He developed the concept of Permatourism, a holistic tourism planning and management framework grounded in systems thinking and design principles. This novel approach to destination management pursues the complementarity between a diverse set of stakeholders in the tourism business ecosystem, with the aim to elevate the uniqueness and competitiveness of destinations as well as to regenerate economically depressed communities.
He has worked in Europe, Africa, the Americas, and Asia as a researcher, instructor, project manager and consultant in community development projects leveraging the economic muscle of tourism. In the future, he wants to continue to carry out engaged research and contribute to making tourism a force for good.
