To the extent that tourism is taking shape as promising for the local development, public administration must assume its role as provider and regulator of the touristic activity. In this way, the National Tourism Plan (PNT) was configured as the main document governing Brazil’s tourist activity, pointing guidelines for state governments, departments and other stakeholders which could guide their public policies.
