The article summarises the results of a research that aimed to characterise the contents and forms of organization present in newsreels with tourism or travel content produced by National Agency of Brazil during the military dictatorship (1964-1985). The research was carried out in the intersection of three fields of knowledge: Tourism, History and Cinema, combining different research methodologies and data analysis and interpretation. Among the results of the research, the following ones can be highlighted: the identification of a significant set of films with tourism content held by the National Archives of Brazil; the confirmation of the possibility of moving the tourist film away from the concepts that place it exclusively in the sphere of promotional films; the observation on how a continuum of “great achievements” supposedly attained by the military governments, which included tourism and other economic activities, was established in the newsreels studied; the participation of National Agency of Brazil in the implementation of public policies for tourism and the protection of the national historical and artistic heritage; and the nexus between tourism and cinema during the Brazilian military dictatorship established by the role reserved for films in the country’s propaganda.
