Abstract

Nature tourism, by their characteristics, especially its dependence on environmental conservation, finds difficult to survive without cooperation among public, private and third sector. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze how the intersectorial partnerships can contribute strategically to the competitiveness of organizations working in the segment of nature tourism in the cities of Blumenau, Pomerode and Gaspar. The method adopted was the qualitative research as exploratory methodology. The procedures of data collection involved the completion of semi-structured interviews and documentary analysis. In the scenario studied was observed that the inter-sectorial strategies are insufficient and do not directly contribute to the development of nature tourism. However, there is a perception that the relationship between the sectors may represent a means to leverage and strengthen this tourism sector.
