Hello, I'm Cláudia Gouveia. I was born in the vibrant city of Lisbon and have made a career as an assistant professor with a Masters and a PhD in Tourism. My academic path has led me to share my knowledge and experience with the Tourism students at Universidade Europeia, Lisboa. My passion for teaching is rooted in my love for two captivating topics: "Memorable Tourism Experiences" and "Tourism Product Development". These topics not only fascinate me, but also drive my research interests. I study the intricacies of consumer behaviour in tourism and focus particularly on the development of themed products for families. It's an exciting journey of discovery that has broadened my horizons. Before my academic career, I worked for five years for a tour operator in Barcelona, Catai Tours. Today I continue to explore the world as a tour guide, specializing in unforgettable family trips to Lapland and Morocco. This experience allows me to combine my academic knowledge with the real-life wonders of travel. Outside of academia and work, I love to travel and explore the world for new experiences. For me, life is a weave of exploration, education and embracing the magic that surrounds us.
