The studies on the analysis of tourism public policies in the Amazon and in Brazil focus on its implementation, impasses and/or results, but their formulation process as well as the characters involved on those are still approached in an incipient way. This paper presents results of a research on tourism public policy in the Brazilian Amazon. The research aimed at understanding how tourism is addressed and how it is in the agendas of the municipalities of Bel��m and Bragan��a governments, in the state of Par��. The Multiple Streams Model was used as a theoretical and methodological reference. The empirical evidence is based on bibliographic and documentary reviews and semi-structured interviews with employees of the tourism management agencies of the municipalities. The results show that tourism public policies are materialized in the Bel��m Tourism Program 14 (PTB14) and in Bragan��a Municipal Tourism Plan (PMT-Bragan��a). Moreover, in these municipalities there is the Municipal Tourism Council; in which the Council of Bel��m acted in the process of formulating the PTB14; whereas the Council of Bragan��a did not participate in the formulation of the PMT-Bragan��a hence the tourist trade representatives of the municipality did, but individually. It is concluded therefore that the analysis model used it, in both municipalities, there are factors that influenced the multiple streams of the process of formulating tourism public policy; however, it was possible to fully identify only those that affected the stream of public policy. In addition to that, the way in which tourism is conceived and disseminated has led it to be risen to a prominent position in the decision agenda of the municipalities of Bel��m and Bragan��a. |
