Abstract

This article is about ecotourism project that seeks to integrate ecological concerns with social and economic development in the Blue Lagoon and the neighborhoods that surround it in Caraguatatuba-SP, in a sustainable way in order to keep alive the caiçara culture. For both ideas were worked out partnerships with NGOs and the creation of a cooperative and capabilities with regard to inclusion of the local community in tourism. The idea of the project is also providing the tourist pleasure in sports, cultural activities, which may reflect and enjoy nature in a way that maintains the point preserved for future generations to enjoy the same, the richness of the local flora and fauna. Anyway, what is expected is a change in attitude to environmental issues, because through rules and procedures can generate behaviors for the good of nature and community, creating a fully sustainable development.
