Roteiro cultural do povoado Maxinaré de Currais Novos/RN

Abstract

Povoado Maxinaré is located in the rural area of Currais Novos/RN. It stands out for its natural landscapes, cultural attractions and also for its agricultural production, which is passed down between generations in the community. Thus, the work aims to produce a themed cultural itinerary of the Povoado Maxinaré of Currais Novos/RN. To this end, discussions of heritage and cultural tourism linked to the relationship between tourism and regional development were used as a theoretical reference. Methodologically, the structure of creating cultural itineraries was used, with a concern for articulating the community and contributing to local development. The cultural itinerary is made up of the following places: Cruzeiro do Catunda, Family Production of Fruit Pulps, Bar Dedé Bujão, Porão and Barragem do Maxinaré. Considerations indicate that the itinerary could contribute to the development of tourism in the village, thus generating jobs and consequently extra income for residents, in addition to attracting investment in the development of tourism and also in public policies to preserve community assets.
