As Regiões turísticas do estado do Amapá e as políticas públicas

Abstract

This scientific production, called a doctoral thesis, entitled “The tourist regions in the state of Amapá and public policies”, required the systematization of the general objective that is presented in analyzing the tourist region in the state of Amapá and public policies. To carry out the research, it was possible to rely on the methodology of scientific investigation, based on the principles of constant becoming, the dynamism that involved the investigation, seeking the logical sequence of its implementation. Therefore, the focus adopted was qualitative and quantitative, with a non-experimental design, presenting a descriptive exploratory level, when the interviews applied among tourism managers in the state of Amapá, tourism production agents and in non-governmental institutions and document analysis. As a result of the investigation, initially through the approaches to those investigated, it was found that the tourist regions of Amapá occur in a timid, isolated way and do not provide sufficient support in all fields for tourism to be effective. Based on the respondents and on the documental analysis, the absence of investments in tourism in the state of Amapá was clear, since it does not launch public policies to encourage tourism, even considering that Amapá is rich in natural spaces that are attractive to domestic tourists. and external, since, in the eyes of those who defend the preservation of nature, the state of Amapá would have already manifested itself to the enrichment of tourism, considering that, in the Legal Amazon, it registers that it is the state of the Brazilian federation that has 97% of the environment under preservation and, in view of this, in addition to tourist attractions, it has natural beauties that must be contemplated by all, but through a systematic and responsible tourism process, for the state, for the nation and for the world.
