China has the world’s largest population and it has been predicted that China will become one of the world’s major sources of international travellers in the 21st century. Although the outbound travel industry in China has only been developing in recent years, there has been an increasing number of outbound Chinese going all over the world. South Africa is one of the countries that are beginning to be penetrated by the emerging Chinese outbound traveller market. The purpose of this study is to examine the South Africa inbound tourism industry’s readiness for the increasing Chinese tourist market to South Africa and also to examine South Africa as a secondary international destination for the Chinese traveller. The study also aims to explore the Chinese travellers’ interests and major concerns when travelling to South Africa and the expectations of the inbound tour operators in Shanghai. A purposive sample of 118 respondents from Shanghai’s tourism industry participated in the study.

Este trabalho foi o primeiro passo na busca de conhecimento sobre a truticultura no sudeste brasileiro, a partir das abordagens de cadeia produtiva e turismo rural. O objetivo geral foi caracterizar os atuais níveis de produção e produtividade nacionais dos produtores de truta, o potencial de investimentos, os entraves para o crescimento, as oportunidades de mercado e as tendências do produtor, bem como identificar as possíveis estratégias para o crescimento e desenvolvimento da cadeia produtiva no sudeste. Especificamente, buscou-se identificar e caracterizar os componentes da cadeia produtiva; caracterizar as condições sócio-econômicas dos truticultores e criar base de dados para orientar os investimentos privados e / ou o desenvolvimento de políticas públicas específicas para o segmento. Para isso foi selecionada e entrevistada uma amostra de produtores representativa. Os resultados revelaram que o segmento de trutas no sudeste é um componente híbrido do Sistema Agroalimentar, orientado para a produção e para o setor de serviços (comércio e lazer) que contrasta com o sistema produtivo dos principais países produtores que operam em escala industrial. Trata-se de uma cadeia produtiva curta, ainda em formação, cuja consolidação está associada à especialidade regional e a atividades de turismo rural. A hipótese inicial foi parcialmente corroborada. De fato a atividade tem capacidade de fixar trabalhadores no campo, porém sua capacidade de geração de postos de trabalho é menor que a esperada e a relação com o turismo rural, devidamente aproveitada, tem potencialidade para promover o desenvolvimento regional. / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, 2007. / Bibliografia: p. 77-82. / Inclui notas de rodapé.
