This article presents an analysis of the tourist offer in fluvial passenger transport in Amazonas, in large vessels, departing from Porto Roadway, Manaus, and medium-sized, offered by the Fluvial Transport Cooperative of Marina do David [Acamdaf] and Cooperativa Solinegro in Porto da Ceasa. It is a quantitative-qualitative, exploratory and descriptive research, using semi-structured observation to collect itinerary data from the selection for the sample of a large and a medium-sized vessel, the description of the structure and service provision. The research is guided by the literature of Lohmann and Netto (2008), La Torre (2002), Sancho (2001) on transport in tourism; Boullón (2002), on the influence of the transport system in the structuring of the tourist space; Queiroz (2019), Macedo (2014) and Pereira (2013) on river transport in Amazonas. The results point to the latent need for structuring the tourist offer of fluvial passenger transport departing from Manaus, due to the scarcity in the offer of other modes that guarantee intercity mobility for residents and tourists in Amazonas. |
