Abstract

Tourism is an economic activity that is growing in development in the country and around the world, becoming a management tool for public and private actors to improve the sector and consequently generate employment and income in localities. Tourism planning and the creation of public policies must be linked to the sustainable development of the activity and provide the well-being of communities, minimizing the impacts generated and contributing to the preservation of natural, historical and cultural assets. Thus, this study aims to identify the development of tourist activity in the municipality of Bom Jardim de Minas after its entry into the Serras de Ibitipoca Regional Governance Instance, as well as verifying the contributions arising from this. The methodology used is exploratory in nature, with documentary research of federal, national, regional and municipal entities, and authors of articles related to planning and management. Based on the research, it was possible to verify that the municipal organization and the application of public tourism policies aligned with the state and federal spheres, and the implementation of actions to promote tourist activity, will promote the development of tourism in an organized manner.
