Abstract
This dissertation is a search for understanding the different trajectories carried out in the relation tourism-development, especially in territories with a low economical dynamism. In this context, it aimed to fulfil the goal of analysing the territorial dynamic of the development of the town of Maragojipe from the touristic aspect, in the period from 1990 to 2008. Starting from the point that the development results from the socio-territorial organization ways, and for that reason the analysis was focused in the singularity of both the instituted and instituting relations of the local touristic territorialization, considering as temporal mark the nineties decade, when due to the decrease of the tobacco industry, which was so far the socio-economic basis of the town, Maragojipe started to bid institutional development efforts towards the touristic activity. To the analysis it was necessary to associate data and information collected from governmental offices and tourists to those from observation visits, interviews performance and questionnaires applied to social, economical and agents. The choice of this empirical reality is based in the acknowledge that the study of the town, besides allowing the identification of determinant singularities to the touristic territorialization and of the development, almost always absent from the problematization and generic solutions when dealing with the issue, creates opportunity to overcome the traditional focus centered in the analysis of tourism as only traveling situations, considering the disregard of the processes and contents which constitute the tourism as a complex socio-spatial phenomenon, territories manager. Therefore, this research tries to demonstrate that there is not an inexorable relation between tourism and development, and then, although Maragojipe has an effective and diversified touristic potential, the governmental action associated to the disruption of the social and economical agents from the state tourism policy, whose logic favors the already consolidated touristic areas, have been impeditive of a full touristic territorialization, hatcher of the town development.
