Abstract:
This study examines the actions of PRODETUR in the state of Paraíba. For this purpose information was collected in reports of Banco do Nordeste and Tribunal de Contas da União, dealing with actions by the program in its first phase. Information was collected which allowed us to analyze the real intentions of the program, and how the program is intended to assist in the development of tourism in the state of Paraíba performing also comparison of investments in the Northeast states. It was found that although the program has a speech of inclusion and favors the poor, serves as a tool for investments in more developed parts of the Northeast. We also discuss the reason for the need of state interference in the market, as the main instruments used by the government to interfere in the tourist market and questioned tourism as a tool for development.
Key-words: Economic development; tourism; PRODETUR/PB; infrastructure.
