Avaliação preliminar do potencial turístico do município de rifaina (SP) e os impactos decorrentes do uso público de seus atrativos paisagísticos

This paper attempts to assess both the touristic potential of scenic attractions and the environmental impacts resulting from the public use of such attractions in the Rifaina Municipality, State of São Paulo, Southeastern Brazil. In the recent past, this municipality had its economy concentrated in rural activities (livestock, corn, rice and bean crops) and in the ceramic industry (production of bricks, tiles and shackles),which was largely developed in the floodplain of the Rio Grande before the construction of the Jaguara Power Plant Dam. The impacts resulting from touristic activities were evaluated by applying the VIM - Visitor Impact Management method, with emphasis on biophysical indicators. The main touristic attractions analyzed were: (1) Rifaina artificial beach; (2) Jaguara Reservoir; (3) Morro do Chapéu (scenic hill); (4) Touristic railroad; and (5) Cuestas cliffs. Attractions (1) and (2) are the most exploited ones, including, in the second case, nautical sports, sportive and craft fishing, and summer lodging. Although currently disabled, the touristic railroad presents potential conditions to be re-explored. Attractions (3) and (5), despite keeping high landscape and ecological ecotouristic potential, are the least visited places. In the present paper, a preliminary characterization of the major issues of tourism industry in the Rifaina municipality is made, including suggestions for the sustainable exploitation of tourism resources. The final results of the environmental impact evaluation of the tourism activities include small impacts in attractions (4) and (5) and moderate impacts to the three first attractions. In order to keep the sustainable touristic potential for that municipality this study proposes the improvement of the following measures: to foster research projects on technical or scientific aspects of the touristic attractions, improvement of tourism infrastructure and the creation of an Environmental Protection Area (APA) of the cuestas' scarps.

Turismo sostenible en Centroamérica y el Caribe

Resumen La sostenibilidad de los recursos que soportan el turismo y el aprovechamiento de la oferta ambiental de servicios turísticos han de definir las modalidades de prestación de servicios turísticos más adecuadas que convengan a un país o región. En este aspecto, la vulnerabilidad económica, social y ambientalasí como la exposición al riesgo de las regiones de Centroamérica y del Caribe apuntan a la conveniencia de una serie de políticas nacionales y de cooperación regional que incorporen los aspectos relevantes para un uso adecuado de los recursos en términos de planificación territorial, de acceso a los recursos, normas de desarrollo e inversión en conservación de los recursos. Este capítulo se refiere a dos rubros. En primer lugar, se analizan las condiciones para la sostenibilidad del turismo incluyendo la reducción de la vulnerabilidad y en segundo, se plantean los conceptos relevantes para implementar un turismo que aproveche la oferta ambiental de servicios turísticos.
