Abstract

Supported the expansion of free time leisure for workers from the post-industrial period, marked by technological development and the improvement of services, tourism earned irreplaceable connotations for companies using the rest and renewal needs of consumers as a reference for their growth. Realizing the new dynamic that gained strength from the late nineteenth century and turned into right politically advocated for improving the lives - especially in countries of Europe - governments have entered into partnerships with the private sector for guidance, revitalization and organization of the tourism sector, in order to serve as inexhaustible financial fuel to regions. In Brazil, especially in the Northeast, the process is set based on other peculiarities and dynamics that need further scientific attention. Seeking to organize the tourism sector as an alternative to exit the economic backwardness in the face of developing regions such as South and Southeast, the Northeast became worth of emergency strategic plans to create destinations and receive tourists, with the expansion of the hotel network, repair of historic structures and symbolic construction of natural destinations, for example. It is necessarily in this sense that this work will turn, whether the use of a sociology of political and administrative activities of the State. Fundamentally, the research will focus on the state of Alagoas, in order to know the process of organization and the dynamics that involve the translation and implementation of national tourism policies, and identify the relevance of these policies in the construction of destinations.
