Patrimônio histórico e turismo na cidade de Veranópolis/RS

Abstract

Broke with the goal of developing a study that involved three main themes: Tourism, History and Memory. The three themes are related in search of a study which may contribute to the enhancement of urban landscapes as tourist attractions, recognizing the city or its urban centers, as permeated by cultural relationships that involve multiple fields and interests. Thus, this study aimed to analyze and understand the relationships between tourism, Memories and the City, with the eyes on the location of Veranópolis. Whereas the city and its image are the result of practices and representations of social groups, urban areas become attractive tourism representative for the cities, given that there are visible the different times and presenting the stories of Thus, streets and squares articulate these temporalities between the groups, which may support an attraction for visitors. It can be seen in Veranópolis, a distance between tourism and the city, such as urbanity. Looking at the image of tourism advertised, as well as records related to the activity, it is clear that the option for natural has a long history. But at other times at the beginning of the twentieth century, which was posted were just the city and its cultural attractions, which points to an ominous reductionism of local tourism, the distance between Tourism and the City, giving great emphasis to nature existing in the locality, which seems to be a reductionist approach to local tourism.
