Abstract

Due to its dimension, cultural matrix, and its roots in the diverse regions worldwide, Lusitanian communities may enhance dynamics of tourism development in such globalization. Indeed, Portugality is present in the distinct ethnic neighborhoods of strong concentration of the Lusitanian population the North American territory as it in the state of New Jersey, where approximately 72,000 Portuguese people of live (data from 2012). This community presents in the local landscape a concentration of architectural, economic, and cultural elements. Such landscape elements may be explored and valued by local community and also by all the tourism stakeholders of both sides of Atlantic for the development of a particular type of tourism such as ethnocultural. Defining touristic resource, as well as special and identity singularities, the present work aims to demonstrate how diaspora may have an ultimate role in the arrival and development of touristic products for both lusophones and lusophiles communities.
