Mapeamento turístico na região Costa dos Corais/AL: uma análise sobre o setor de alojamento – 2010 a 2020

Abstract

This dissertation will examine the tourist activity in the Costa dos Corais Region, preceded by a concise elucidation of the comprehensive concept of tourism. Various authors conceptualize tourism as an activity entailing the appropriation of space through the synthesis of production and social reproduction. The principal objective of this research is to conduct a thorough tourist mapping of the Costa dos Corais region in Alagoas, focusing specifically on the accommodation sector spanning the period from 2010 to 2020. The specific objectives encompass an investigation into the primary policies that stimulated tourism, a characterization of the tourism sector, and a detailed analysis of the accommodation sector and the job market within the region under scrutiny. This study will additionally consider the interventions of the Federal and State Governments in this productive sector, aligning with the perspectives of diverse authors who recognize tourism as an economic activity with the potential to foster regional and local development. To accomplish these objectives, a comprehensive bibliographical survey was conducted with a historical-economic foundation across various platforms and digital libraries. Furthermore, secondary data were gathered from databases such as Alagoas em Dados, CAGED, BNB, Banco Mundial, Dados Abertos do Turismo, IPEA, Ministry of Tourism, National Tourism Observatory, and RAIS. It was concluded that tourism has advanced in Alagoas, however there must be greater concern with environmental issues and the productive inclusion of the resident population. Therefore, the transformations investigated in the tourist activity of the studied region are expected, in order to favor other debates in the Alagoas scope.
