Desenvolvimento endógeno e a relação no contexto do turismo

Abstract

The present study seeks to understand the relationship between endogenous development in the context of tourism. Because it is understood as an economic growth activity capable of expanding employment and income based on local potential, tourism, from an endogenous perspective, represents the driving force behind development, since, based on local forces, it is related to the creation of a adequate institutional and economic environment, provided by the combination of the use of social, cultural, natural resources and local services, as well as cooperation between actors. The research methodology used in this work has a qualitative approach, being bibliographic and descriptive. The results point to a directly proportional relationship between endogenous development actions, the growth of tourism, the dynamization of the local economy and the existence of adequate policies to strengthen local governance. It is concluded that theories of endogenous development, in the context of tourism, are bases for the elaboration of policies and planning. Although these are in-depth studies, they represent relevant agendas for prospecting future research.
