Crisis in tourism are sufficient of motivating adverse behaviors and situations, since concerns about the negative economic impacts generated are inevitable, and some destinations suffer concomitantly with other crisis. Therefore, the present study aims to present that the impacts of the climate crises in the years 2018 to 2021 in Corumbá have important practical implications for the tourist system of Mato Grosso do Sul. In order to answer the research question and achieve the proposed objective, this study presents a theoretical sampling, which addresses the main axes of this research, added to the climate/rainfall variable, which served to explain that an entire chain suffers from drought, in especially tourism, the region's main economic activity, which may continue to undergo further changes due to the rainy season. Furthermore, this study used the quantile statistical technique, adapted from Monteiro, Rocha and Zanella (2012) to analyze climatic factors and their interrelations with tourist activity, comparing with periods of higher incidence of fires in the Pantanal biome. As a result, a major negative impact was observed, with fires and long periods of drought in the Pantanal region that remain to this day, thus damaging navigation, fishing and the entire tourist system in the region. The relevance of this research is justified, considering the difficulty of updating data and discussing a developing topic. However, it is hoped to contribute to and facilitate an increasingly broader and necessary debate on the negative impacts of crises that go beyond Covid-19.
