Caracterização da oferta turística de Cuiabá-MT

Abstract

Tourism is an economic activity motivated by consumerism that, when well used, can provide social and economic development for the local community because it generates employment and income. The general objective of this work is to survey the tourist offer of Cuiabá-MT, and a brief analysis in relation to its potential, since there is a shortage of information on the subject and because it is a sector with unexplored potential. The choice of the city was due to the fact that it is the capital of an expanding state in the agricultural sector, because it is rich in culture and history, and has been chosen by the Ministry of Tourism as one of the country's business destinations. The data collection was carried out in a secondary way through the database of the Secretariat of Economic Development (SEDEC), the Annual Social Information Report (RAIS) and the data system made available by the IRS in relation to Individual Microentrepreneurs (SIMEI). It was found that the city has a complete portfolio of offer in relation to the Characteristic Activities of Tourism (ACTs) and the potential to develop in specific segments such as Business, Events and Cultural Tourism. It is concluded that effective public policies are needed that generate effective results, and a more active management of the resources allocated to the sector.
