The main objective of the research is to analyze citizen participation in the process of developing the Integrated Sustainable Tourism Development Plan for the Costa dos Corais region of Alagoas in 2023. The justification for this research lies in the need to understand how citizen participation influences the planning of public policies, particularly in the context of sustainable tourism. Specific objectives include describing the process of developing the proposed Integrated Sustainable Tourism Development Plan (PDITS) for the study region; characterizing citizen participation in the process of developing the PDITS for the Costa dos Corais region of Alagoas in 2023; and identifying possible challenges and opportunities for citizen participation in the elaboration of the PDITS for Costa dos Corais in 2023. The methodology used is qualitative and quantitative, involving document analysis, participant observation, and interviews. The results highlighted the importance of active citizen participation in the development of public policies, underscoring the need to strengthen and expand mechanisms of citizen participation to ensure more inclusive and sustainable management. These findings contribute to advancing knowledge in the field of public policies and citizen participation, providing valuable insights for the formulation of more effective strategies for engaging society in the construction of sustainable tourism not only in the Costa dos Corais region, but across all spheres of public management.
