Abstract

The recent award to the University of Coimbra's World Heritage status by UNESCO, the ability to better promote this tourist destination in overseas markets through the T.I.C.T. and Miniature costs, prompted the preparation of this Master Thesis. The specificity of a Territorial Marketing that contrary to the products, not part of a "zero-based", or in other words, the territory does not choose, is already there with their own characteristics (with its natural and built heritage; material and immaterial, the sympathy of the population,. etc.) requires an interdisciplinary approach to the subject to propose innovative and non-standard solutions. Thus, a Marketing Online for a particular destination must necessarily have a holistic view and consider the possible contribution of each Stakeholder. Main objective of this dissertation is: 1) Promote: A Strategy Digital Marketing for the University of Coimbra as a World Heritage Site, along with three new foreign markets and strengthening existing, given its geographical proximity as source markets. 2) Test: The Current Online Marketing Strategy developed by the Tourism Center (TC) and the University of Coimbra. 3) Developing: An Online Marketing Strategy through a new concept of construction and implementation of technological applications approach, such as a Website and an original video (pointing to content that promotes interactivity with the consumer, Crowdsourcing).
