Summary
Tourism emerges as a pivotal economic driver for communities surrounding the Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park, one of Brazil's most preserved Cerrado biomes and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The study reveals that the park's unique physiographic and cultural landscape attracts thousands of annual visitors, significantly boosting local economies. Through fieldwork, documentary analysis, and bibliographic review, researchers mapped the socio-spatial dynamics shaping tourism in Alto Paraíso de Goiás and Vila de São Jorge, highlighting its role as a modern economic force while preserving the region's ecological and cultural integrity.
