Abstract

Youth Tourism is getting a huge significance, not only by the volume of business associated with it, but also by the potential innovation that young people add to the traveling experience. Within the youth tourism, we find frequent allusions to the concept of school trips and, within this type, the design of Spring Breakers, whose motivation and organizational context still lack a sys tematic research aimed at a better understanding of this product. This paper proposes an introductory reflection on the modus operandi of the Spring Breakers supply/demand in Portugal, starting from information gathered in the literature and collected in a survey conducted in 2013.
