The objective of the present study is to understand the dynamics of the elaboration of the territorial tourism that occurs between Brasília and Goiânia. It is crucial to discuss not only space and physical structures, but it is also important to verify how the different touristic activities can be distinguished. This thesis will show that there exists a sort of touristic activity that organizes space in the surrounding suburbs of Distrito Federal. The main cities in the urban region, respectively Brasília and Goiânia have strong influence over the nearest counties, and tourism is one of the diverse manifestations of this territorial dynamic. As the culture of travel settles in the urban metropolitan centers, there are certain demands that are created to attend the need of utilization of free time including pleasure and touristic activities. In this manner, the nearby counties start receiving public and private investments so that they can offer infrastructure and attractions for the expanding market segment. Tourism is able to create structures for its own consolidation according to the local specific aspects (political issues, attractive activities, entrepreneurs) showing thus a hierarchy between the touristic counties and those with developing activities. Data was gathered in the official tourism organs in the counties of research as well as in the State of Goiás, Distrito Federal and at the Ministry of Tourism. The first chapter of this thesis briefly describes the research theme, methodology, objectives and the difficulties encountered throughout this research. The second chapter defines tourism and its facets in a light manner so that the subject is not dense. In the third chapter there is a characterization of the area between Brasilia and Goiania. The following chapters will show the different levels of the development of tourism in the counties of Goiás, with a basis on the characterization of the social economic indicators, the tourism attractions and the current stage of development of the touristic activity. In the last two chapters, the different uses and possibilities of tourism between Brasilia and Goiania are discussed, as well as the understanding if there is in fact a touristic region of Brasilia, besides the conclusions that truly prove that tourism produces a territorial dynamic that occupies spaces in detriment to other spaces, causes developments and contradictions.
