In the North Area (State of Pará), the municipal district São Domingos do Capim is located. It
presents outstanding characteristic and typical of the Amazon area, offering a not very
explored natural deferential, the phenomenon of the “pororoca.” In that sense, and inside of
that regional context, the work looked for to investigate the contribution of the tourism for the
maintainable development of São Domingos do Capim, starting from the “it surfs in the
pororoca.” For so much, it was necessary to lift the pertinent bibliography to the sustainable
tourism; to define the regional and local partner-space organization of São Domingos do
Capim; to investigate the social actors perception and its role in the current process of tourist
development to the light of the paradigm of the sustainable; finally to formulate some
maintainable proposals to give subsidies to the local and regional public politics in the
section. The methodological investigation was looked for in the empiric research, in a
quantitative and qualitative approach, and in the paradigm of the sustainable. In the analysis
of the regional and local partner-space organization, lacks were detected in several levels,
from basic infrastructure to conflicts of order partner-politics in the maintenance of the power
of the dominant elites. In the investigation of the social actors perception, the civil society
said that the benefits resulting from “tourism” they are still few. Being added to that aspect,
there is pressing of planning of the activity returned to the regional characteristics and local.
But for that he/she should improve the conditions of life the population firstly and also the
possibility to give them productive alternatives. Meanwhile not if effective, the tourism
appears as more a local socioeconomic possibility. The partnership among community, non
government organizations, teaching institutions, publics sector’s (Federal, State and
Municipal) and the private, if considered initiative its contributions and suggestions, cannot to
increase the economy from the position, be through the incentive to new enterprises, opening
of work positions, incentive the other alternatives of income as the craft and the tourist
services, as well as, educational campaigns to influence and to raise to value of the culture.
For that, they should be thought strategies of local development in which among is
contemplated the several modalities the ecoturism.
