Rota turíistica na Península de Itapagipe: uma proposta para o desenvolvimento local

Abstract

Considering the potentialities that the Itapagipe Peninsula offers for tourism, the following question arises: Can tourism in the Itapagipe Peninsula serve as an alternative strategy for local development within the community? This research answers affirmatively, but with a necessary critical and reflective analysis of development, participation, and social management. The overall objective of this study is to present a proposal for the Itapagipana Peninsula Tourist Route, aimed at promoting local development. The specific objectives of this work include characterizing the Itapagipe territory, mapping the various possibilities for tourist attractions on the peninsula, and proposing innovative alternatives for community participation in developing solutions to local tourism challenges. The study is grounded in critical reflection on the concepts of local development, territory, tourism, and participation, along with their respective interrelationships.
