Abstract

Descriptive-exploratory research about violence and tourism detaching, in such a context, the implications of criminality against foreign tourists in Brazil, more specifically in the city of São Paulo. In some surveys presented by other researchers, it was observed that violence contributes in a negative way for the demand of a touristic destination. The research done by DEATUR - Tourism Police Department - in the city of São Paulo (Brazil), during the period of 1995 to 2000, shows that the foreign tourist is not the major "target" of local criminality; the analysed occurrences describe mugging and theft with major emphasis on the latter and there was no register of homicide involving foreign tourists.
