Analysis of Tourism Sustainability in the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, Brazil

Tourism sustainability in the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, Brazil, is found to be a mixed scenario—ranging from sustainable to unsustainable practices—with critical vulnerabilities tied to rising population and high tourist inflows. This assessment, derived from the Tourism Sustainable Indicators System (TSIS), highlights the archipelago's delicate balance between environmental protection and tourism growth, particularly concerning its sensitive ecosystems and rich biodiversity. The study emphasizes the need for robust resource management in the two protected areas of Noronha to mitigate negative impacts. Conducted through semi-structured surveys, interviews with public authorities, civil society, and private sector agents, the research provides a nuanced understanding of the archipelago's sustainability dimensions—environmental, cultural, social, economic, touristic, and institutional. Its findings carry both local and global significance, offering insights for sustainable planning in isolated island contexts like Noronha.
