Abstract

The research presented in this article, has the purpose of analyzing the results generated by the actions to strengthen tourism for regional development, based on the organizational dimension proposed by the Tomazzoni (2007) model. We investigated the municipalities of Prados, Sí£o Joí£o Del Rei and Tiradentes, located in the region called Campo das Verentes in the State of Minas Gerais. The investigation was based on documentary research and twelve interviews, and the data were analyzed through content analysis using Atlas it software. The results allow us to affirm that the Circuito Turístico Trilha dos Inconfidentes (ctti) plays a leading role in the development of tourism activity in the region, exercising greater power and influence than other social actors, as an instance of tourism governance. However, there was an imbalance regarding the development of tourism actions at the municipal level, directly related to the organization of the Municipal Tourism Council of each municipality.
