Abstract

Tourism is a rapidly expanding activity, so places with potential for tourism development, previously outside the tourism market, have been inserted in contemporary tourist routes. Brazil, being a country of continental dimension, has different tourist attractions in different regions. As for the states with great tourist potential, we highlight Mato Grosso do Sul, although many places in it are almost unknown and little-publicized. Thus, we present here an analysis of Corguinho which has outstanding ecotourism potential, but also could attract tourists in other modalities as scientific and mystical tourism. In this text, we seek to present alternatives that can trigger an eventual tourism development process in the municipality following a model of sustainable economic and social development in line with the local environmental preservation.
