Abstract

The general objective of this article was to identify the needs and expectations of the service suppliers connected to tourism along the historic route known as the "Royal Highway" (in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil), in terms of the desired strategy for the logistics of supply for this type of tourism. By means of exploratory empirical research, a survey of the data was carried out in the field by presenting cards that clearly stated preferences regarding suppliers to owners and managers of inns in the regions of the cities of Ouro Preto and Tiradentes. The features investigated were: Speed of Service, Number of Suppliers, Size of Lots, Supply Operations and Method of Ordering. The article concludes that, in order for a strategy to have strong impact on this economic activity in the regions where this research was carried out, it should consider a policy of reducing the supplier basis.
