This scientific production, called a doctoral thesis, entitled “The tourist regions in the state of
Amapá and public policies”, required the systematization of the general objective that is
presented in analyzing the tourist region in the state of Amapá and public policies. To carry out
the research, it was possible to rely on the methodology of scientific investigation, based on
the principles of constant becoming, the dynamism that involved the investigation, seeking the
logical sequence of its implementation. Therefore, the focus adopted was qualitative and
quantitative, with a non-experimental design, presenting a descriptive exploratory level, when
the interviews applied among tourism managers in the state of Amapá, tourism production
agents and in non-governmental institutions and document analysis. As a result of the
investigation, initially through the approaches to those investigated, it was found that the tourist
regions of Amapá occur in a timid, isolated way and do not provide sufficient support in all fields
for tourism to be effective. Based on the respondents and on the documental analysis, the
absence of investments in tourism in the state of Amapá was clear, since it does not launch
public policies to encourage tourism, even considering that Amapá is rich in natural spaces
that are attractive to domestic tourists. and external, since, in the eyes of those who defend the
preservation of nature, the state of Amapá would have already manifested itself to the
enrichment of tourism, considering that, in the Legal Amazon, it registers that it is the state of
the Brazilian federation that has 97% of the environment under preservation and, in view of
this, in addition to tourist attractions, it has natural beauties that must be contemplated by all,
but through a systematic and responsible tourism process, for the state, for the nation and for
the world.
