Comparativo dos índices de competitividade dos destinos turísticos da Rota das Emoções

Tourism destinations along the Route of Emotions, including Lençóis Maranhenses National Park, show lower competitiveness compared to Brazil's national average across most dimensions except environmental aspects and regional cooperation. This finding highlights a need for stronger public policies to enhance their economic potential. The study analyzed data from the National Tourism Competitiveness Index (2008–2015), comparing three key destinations—Barreirinhas, Parnaíba, and Jijoca de Jericoacoara—and their respective protected areas. Despite some regional strengths, overall competitiveness lags behind national benchmarks, signaling opportunities for targeted development interventions.
