Abstract

This research examines the public policy of regionalization of tourism in Brazil, developed during the presidential campaign of Luis Inácio Lula da Silva in 2002. In January 2003, with the elected president, was created the Ministry of Tourism (Tourism Ministry), and soon after, was implanted, in its planning, the National Tourism Plan, aiming to enhance regional diversities with the creation of tourist regions. Thus, this research has its consequences in the case study of micro region of Quirinópolis in Goias State, however, the discussion is not limited to the national reality, so this also brings the Algarve Region in Portugal, a comparative parameter for analysis, it is not the longer experience of this investigation, but a space with more tourist density historically. In Brazil, public policies developed and applied at regional perspective subtract places relegating them to the hierarchies, especially urban areas. In the country of Goias, we ask if not the case for encourage public policies of tourism committed to these tourist places and with the social network that exercise the role of manager of the tourist attractions. We highlight in the area that tourism needs social subjects able to negotiate a social inclusion project that think the places associated to the region. We consider the urban network as a possibility for organization of tourism in the country of Goias, but it is necessary to create mechanisms to guarantee the democratization of access to public resources. This issue raised was permeated by the possibilities of visualizing if the central power talk to the articulated local subjects with the State project focused on tourism. As for ways of building the research, three steps were essential: the fieldwork, the documentary research and the office work. From this route, set up the chapters of this research: 1st The Region in the Perspective of State Policies on Tourism , 2nd The micro region of Quirinópolis and the Genesis of Sport and Tourism in Cities , 3rd Public Policies and Organizational Networks linking the tourist sites of the Lower Paranaíba Goiano , 4th Proposal for the Creation of Tourist Destinations between Lake St. Simon and Lagoa Santa in the Lower Paranaíba Goiano , the latest, 5th Transformations and Evolution in Public Policy Tourism in Portugal: comparing the maturity of Europe with the study area in Brazil .
