The doctoral thesis titled "Public and private of management tourism potentiality and tourism weaknesses in Sacramento-MG" presents the results of four years of work, since literature review to interlacing information obtained on fieldwork and data analysis. It was identified that due to Sacramento s political structure there is an influence in the application of public resources allocated for tourism management. There is also a gap between projects planning and its realization public managers are selling a tourism that does not exist. The creation of tourism in Sacramento came from appropriation of cultural, historical, anthropological, architectural aspects and also the local cuisine. However, this occurs in an uncompromising way: the public and private tourist managers used their image in order to promote specific events to attract visitors without worrying about the city infrastructure. The city has its potential natural tourism registered by several waterfalls, natural swimming pools, belvederes and caves. In the historical aspects there are the records of Desemboque District. In gastronomy there is typical food; in architecture there are buildings of churches, mansions and colonial farms. In the cultural aspects there are religious and popular festivals. Despite the city potential tourism, the offered infrastructure is weak considering the available resources. The tourist facilities are limited, making necessary to respect the ability of occupation, especially in major events like carnival that strangles the local hotels structure. The Sacramento's resident identifies the tourists in daily contacts. However, the Sacramento's resident is worried about the convivence with these tourists as there are negative records about tourists who do not respect the local way of life. In rural areas the residents are also concerned. Most natural tourist attractions are in these properties and some are being visited without the owner's authorization. Considering the perception of visitors (tourists), the downside is the equipment offered, absence of 24 hours services and commerce without extended hours. Thus, there is tourism potential, there are tourists and there are residents open minded to this practice. However, the public administration and private initiative need to rethink their activities - not only the economic aspect, but respect the environment and the limits of these resources. Therefore, we will only have tourism in Sacramento when its limits were respected by public and private practices in dealing with the attractions and insert the community in these proposals.
