Among the forms this phenomenon enshrines is Memory Tourism, which has assumed increasing importance. This form of tourism is based on a colonial heritage whose values are shaped according to memories of a once shared culture and heritage: that of overseas empires. By acquiring a new role, these postcolonial places open up new readings and respond to a societal challenge of contemporary mobility through looking at travel as a way of building culture and defining identities. This is the reason why it is proposed to map Portuguese heritage in the Zanzibar archipelago, a place that was part of the Lusitanian empire for two hundred years and a source of multiculturalism and otherness to which our age is heir. El turismo es, en el siglo XXI, la mayor industria del mundo, constituyendo un fenómeno estructurado sobre una articulación dinámica y tentacular. Entre las formas que consagra el fenómeno, ha cobrado relevancia el llamado “turismo de la memoria”, basado en una herencia colonial cuyas valencias se formulan a partir de una reminiscencia de una cultura / herencia compartida: la de los imperios de ultramar. Al ganar un nuevo protagonismo, estos lugares poscoloniales se abren a nuevas lecturas, respondiendo a un desafío social de la movilidad contemporánea a través de la mirada a los viajes como una forma de construir cultura y definir identidades, que propone mapear la herencia de sus raíces portuguesas en el archipiélago de Zanzíbar, lugar integrado en el imperio portugués desde hace doscientos años y fuente de multiculturalismo y alteridad de la que nuestro tiempo es heredero. O turismo é, em pleno século XXI, a maior indústria a nível mundial constituindo um fenómeno estruturado a partir de uma articulação dinâmica e tentacular. De entre as formas que o fenómeno consagra, o chamado “turismo de memória” tem vindo a ganhar relevância, assente numa herança colonial cujas valências se formulam segundo uma reminiscência de uma cultura/património outrora partilhada: a dos impérios ultramarinos. Ao ganharem um novo protagonismo, estes lugares pós-coloniais abrem-se a novas leituras, respondendo a um desafio societal da mobilidade contemporânea através do olhar para a viagem como forma de construir cultura e definir identidades, pelo que se propõe cartografar o património de raiz portuguesa no arquipélago de Zanzibar, lugar integrado no império lusitano durante duzentos anos e fonte de multiculturismo e alteridade de que o nosso tempo é herdeiro.
