Tourism research in the Bioceanic Road Corridor: contributions and challenges for the construction of sustainable territories

Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate the contributions of research and documents produced on tourism, between 2017-2019, regarding the area under the influence of the Bioceanic Highway Corridor in the Campo Grande-Porto Murtinho stretch, Brazil, in the construction of sustainable tourist territories. This is a bibliographical and documentary research, associated with a survey of scientific works produced by four regional universities (UEMS, UCDB, UFMS and Anhanguera-Uniderp), Instituto Mamede de Pesquisa Ambiental e Ecoturismo and Instituto de Sustentabilidade Arara Azul, in addition to of documents of the Tourism Foundation of Mato Grosso do Sul (FUNDTUR). 44 scientific works were identified, originating from academic research, addressing tourism in the territory of immediate influence of the Bioceanic Highway Corridor, as well as publications and research carried out by research institutes in the area of ecotourism and scientific tourism and government initiatives for the strengthening of Instances of Regional Governments (IGRs). Even though the appreciation of the nature of the contents worked so far is relevant, there was a strategic need for articulated work in a network, from the local to the multinational scale. In addition to the integrative role that this activity can play in the construction of a Latin American territory, it is necessary to face the challenges of sustainable, more equitable and inclusive tourism, while respecting local, regional and national cultures.

摘要：本研究旨在评估2017-2019年间，针对巴西大坎普-穆尔蒂尼奥港段生物海洋公路走廊（Bioceanic Highway Corridor）影响区域开展的旅游相关研究与文献成果，对可持续旅游领地建设的贡献。本研究属于文献档案类研究范畴，调研对象涵盖四所区域高校（UEMS、UCDB、UFMS及Anhanguera-Uniderp）、马梅德环境研究与生态旅游研究所（Instituto Mamede de Pesquisa Ambiental e Ecoturismo）、蓝金刚鹦鹉可持续发展研究所（Instituto de Sustentabilidade Arara Azul），以及马托格罗索州南部旅游基金会（FUNDTUR）的相关档案资料。本研究共识别出44项源自学术研究的科研成果，内容覆盖生物海洋公路走廊直接影响区域内的旅游议题，同时包含生态旅游与科学旅游领域研究机构的相关出版物及研究成果，以及旨在强化区域政府机构（IGRs）职能的政府举措。尽管现有研究内容的本质价值已获得重视，但仍存在战略层面的需求：需构建从地方到跨国尺度的网络化协同工作体系。除旅游活动可在拉丁美洲领地建设中发挥整合作用外，还需在尊重地方、区域与国家文化的前提下，应对可持续、更公平且更具包容性的旅游业所面临的各类挑战。
