O turismo rural como estratégia de desenvolvimento local no município de Rio Preto da Eva - AM

Abstract

Rural tourism includes the characteristics of the regions, for example, the "Wine Road" in Pinhais-PR and "The Way of Stones" in Sierra Gaucho, demonstrating the specificity of each site. Under this assumption, this paper aims to analyze the family-based rural tourism in the city of Rio Preto da Eva-AM as a local development strategy from the National Program for Family Agriculture - PNTRAF. The attempt is given to verify that the adopted strategy will be able to contribute to the process of local development or rural in the state of Amazonas based on socioeconomic and environmental aspects as well as their suitability to the particularities of the Amazon region. Understanding that is an innovative action, and is therefore relevant to understanding the factors that involve the dynamics established between tourism and rural groups or organizations of small family farms. The rural tourism as an increase in the development process can set positive possibilities, such as generating employment and income, appreciation of natural and cultural landscape of the Amazon through the use of knowledge of rural people, family farmers.
