Creative Tourism Business Model: Tourist Routes of Craft Cachaça in Minas Gerais State, Brazil

Tourism Spectrum, v. I, n. I, p. 16-19. ISSN: 2395-2849, 2015

Tourism is becoming one of the largest economic sectors in the world, through activities and initiatives evaluated as sustainable. It also offers an integration capacity in the Creative industries, and in the area of Creative tourism. That involves an engaged and authentic experience, with participative learning in the arts, heritage, or special aspect of the place, providing a connection with locals (UNESCO 2006). In Brazil, the Ministry of Tourism works with different segments, such as cultural tourism, which comprises tourism activities related to the experience of significant factors of the historical and cultural heritage. The embracing of this segment considers elements and expressions of local culture, which express the memory and the identity of populations and communities. Given the status of cachaça drink as cultural heritage defined by federal decree, along with brand recognition as legitimate national merchandise, this short paper presents an on-going research on the creation of tourist routes of craft cachaça in Minas Gerais state, in the southeast of Brazil. The idea contemplates the Brazilian Creative Economy policy that encourages the development of projects focused in the field of Cultural economy. Thus, production areas of cachaça are been identified to promote cultural innovation and creative entrepreneurship since the beverage is considered a national cultural heritage. After a stage of market analysis and selection of areas to participate in the pilot project, technical visits are been promoted in Salinas’s city in Minas Gerais state. The goal is to analyse the infrastructure, qualification and certification of the product, and feasibility of the routes that will be defined through a series of meetings with local producers. As results, it is proposed the development of a website and a mobile application for the promotion of tourist routes. Information will also be available in English, Portuguese, and Spanish to attract national and international audiences. Then, with the establishment of tourist routes, many people will be hired to deal with tourists on farms, creating jobs.

Exploring Creative Tourism: Editors Introduction

This paper provides an overview of the contributions to special issue of the Journal of Tourism Consumption and Practice entitled „Exploring Creative Tourism‟. Creative tourism has grown rapidly in the past decade, reflecting the growing desire of consumers to develop their own creative potential and to attach themselves to creative networks, as well as the need for creative producers, cities and regions to profile themselves in an increasingly crowded global market. The case studies in the special issue examine creative tourism in a range of different contexts and present a range of models of creative tourism development in fields such as music, art, heritage and crafts. Creative tourism can therefore be viewed as a form of networked tourism, which depends on the ability of producers and consumers to relate to each other and to generate value from their encounters.

Trends and Challenges in Creative Tourism

Paper presented at the International Conference on Creative Tourism, Barcelona December, 9th - 10th 2010. Creative tourism is a concept that only formally defined a decade ago, but in the intervening years it has seen a significant growth worldwide. The range of presentations at this conference on different creative tourism programmes from all corners of the globe is a clear indication of how widespread it now is. In this presentation I will try and set out some of the reasons for this growth, the different forms of creative tourism that have developed and the challenges that remain for those involved in this new sector of tourism. My basic argument is that the growth of creative tourism has been driven by both production and consumption related forces, and that the maximum benefit can be derived by creatively combining the efforts of both producers and consumers to develop new experiences that both engage and transform participants and host communities alike.
