Abstract

"Touristification" refers to the (re)qualification of space to meet the tourist industry interests. This has taken place in Maceió, the capital city of the Alagoas state, northeast Brazil, through the revitalization project of the Jaraguá district. The revitalization project, which is based on the Northeast Tourism Development Program - PRODETUR-NE, is funded by the Inter-American Development Bank through Brazil's Northeast Bank. This study examined the current situation of a community that is located in the Jaraguá district. The study results give evidence that the touristification and revitalization of the area has excluded this community from the benefits resulting from the touristification project.
