Recent data from the federal government show that more than half of Brazilian municipalities have already understood the importance of the tool and are included in the system.

This is the case of Cavalcante, in the interior of Goiás. According to the director of local Tourism, Leonardo Victor Moreira de Carvalho, the municipality has already updated its registration on the Map “because it ensures that good decisions are made”. He reported that this instrument of the Ministry of Tourism identifies investment needs and promotion actions in each region of the country.

“I consider SisMapa very important, because it helps planning Tourism throughout Brazil”, he highlighted. “This year, we updated our registration and reiterated our commitment to this tool”, said the Director of Tourism.

What is it

The Brazilian Tourism Map is an instrument of the Tourism Regionalization Program, which defines the area (territorial section) to be worked on as a priority by the Ministry of Tourism in the scope of the development of public policies. Updates can be made from 30 days before the registration term, which is 12 months. The validity of the registration varies according to the date of certification in the Map, after homologation by the states and approval of the portfolio.

According to the Press Office of the Ministry of Tourism, municipalities should be alert to the notifications sent by the system. The documentation must be updated for the current fiscal year, otherwise the municipality runs the risk of being excluded from the system.

Participation in the Map is open to all Brazilian municipalities, as long as they comply with the criteria established in Ministerial Ordinance No. 41/2021.
