Regional management of tourism - participation and representativeness in the Conselho Regional de Turismo das Agulhas Negras - RJ

Abstract This article aims to empirically analyze one of the decision-making and management tools for tourist destinations indicated by Brazilian public policies: the regional govern-ance instance. The relevance of this study is that in the case of the Brazilian tourism sector, studies of public policies that include the composition of the participating agents, arenas, decision-making processes and their effects are incipient. The governance in-stance studied here is presented as Conselho Regional de Turismo (CONRETUR) Agulhas Negras-RJ, which stands out for having been a pioneer in the State of Rio de Janeiro in the constitution of a participatory collegiate at the regional level. The results presented here are partial results of a master's dissertation and were obtained from bibliograph-ical research about tourism in the Agulhas Negras region, documentary analysis in re-gional, state and federal registries and in-depth interviews with CONRETUR leaders in the first semester of 2017. The lack of participation and representativeness of the members of the Council, aligned with the difficulties of managing a regionalized territory and the high dependence of members of the public sphere, are decisive factors for this instance of governance to pass through moments of difficulty currently.
