| contents | Evolution of Tourism in the Rural Area of the Southern of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil Eurico de Oliveira Santos Lizbeth Souza-Fuertes Marcelo Ribeiro Estudios de Turismo Brazil Agritourism Rural Tourism Rio Grande do Sul Rural property owners open their doors to tourism for several reasons. In part it is due to the failure in achieving agricultural pr ofits. Thus, receiving tourists can increase income, add value to the property, and diversify economic activity. On the other hand, agritourism and rural tourism create new opportunity which does not depend exclusively on agricultural production. Furthermo re, this reflects a new agrarian reality, a transition from an ‘agricultural’ to a ‘rural’ economy. The goal of this study is to identify the potential of rural properties in the southern of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, in order to develop agritourism and r ural tourism as an economic alternative. More specifically, we propose to identify the characteristics of tourism activities at several properties and evaluate the economic viability, employment opportunities and salary growth between 1997 and 2006. There has been ongoing research in this area since 2006 and new studies are being carried out, especially regarding rural tourism property turnover, although they are not the object of the current study. The results of this study infer that the southern of the s tate presented unfavorable outcomes regarding income and job creation on the farms that practiced agritourism and rural tourism. Current trends emphatically focus on these kinds of tourism as alternatives for developing the services sector in the Southern Half rural areas and, while there is visible potential, it is necessary to develop projects and procure the participation of the government and private sector in order to make tourism in rural areas more effective. There are many activities that can be car ried out, such as promoting events and attempting to change the mentality related to living in the rural areas as well as the good use of the properties in order to create a new framework. 2014 artículo científico 2178-9061 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=473547041007 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4735 Rosa dos Ventos application/pdf Universidade de Caxias do Sul Rosa dos Ventos (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.6 |
