O turismo rural como alternativa de sustentabilidade ambiental e econômica da região dos Campos de Cima da Serra do Rio Grande do Sul

Abstract

This study shows that the environmental sustainability of the region of Campos de Cima da Serra do Rio Grande do Sul can be achieved through rural tourism, as this is considered as an important factor in cultural, economic, social and especially the preservation of the environment in communities. Thus, rural tourism is becoming an alternative to achieve sustainable development by reconciling the dichotomous relationship between environmental preservation and development. Thus this work proposes to present the relationship of preservation versus development, through rural tourism that could be implemented in the region studied by the present environment providing a rich diversity of the most beautiful landscapes in the state of Rio Grande do Sul.
