AB The study aims to determine how the knowledge obtained from the study of prehistoric heritagefound during the construction of the Alqueva dam and irrigation system (Portugal) can enhance the currenttourist experience of the destination. A new approach is necessary given the inaccessibility of the archaeolog-ical remains, thus creative tourism and experience economy frame the theoretical basis of this paper. Semi--directed interviews were carried out to 35 tourism stakeholders in order to assess their view of the regionaltourism experience, their interest in ex -situ and virtual products based on the archaeological knowledge andhow these may add to the Alqueva destination. Findings show that stakeholders are still firmly attachedto the conventional approach to archaeology but that, even though unaware of the archaeological findings,they believe that they could benefit from the introduction of creative products as a way of complementingthe current offer.
