Análise da atratividade turística do município de Carmópolis/SE

Abstract

ourism studies of municipalities in Sergipe have been and are being conducted with the aim of providing a scientific contribution, demonstrating the relevance of planning for a destination, highlighting the positive and negative impacts arising from the practice of tourism activities. Therefore, the general objective of this study is to analyze the tourist attractiveness of the municipality of Carmópolis/SE, considering the role of the government in tourism in the municipality. To this end, this work addresses topics such as tourism planning, municipal public management, local development, public policies, tourist attractiveness, as well as aspects such as attractions, resources, equipment and tourist services, and basic infrastructure and support for tourism. The methodology used was exploratory and descriptive research with a qualitative approach, using bibliographical survey, semi-structured interviews, photographic records and direct observation. The methodology for classifying attractions suggested by the Ministry of Tourism was also used, adapted from the methodology used by the World Tourism Organization and the Inter-American Center for Training in Tourism. Given the results obtained, this study allowed us to gain a deeper understanding of the municipality of Carmópolis, enabling us to prioritize its attractions. The main results obtained from the observation itinerary were the neglect of the municipal authorities and the community towards the attractions, since some are in a state of abandonment or need revitalization. The ranking showed that Samba de Aboio came in first place and CP1 in 9th and last in the hierarchy of attractions. And from the interview, it can be seen that even though the public administration of the municipality had done some planning beforehand, the municipality is not prepared for tourism.
