SUMMARY:

Generally, a tourist attraction can be said to be a natural or man-made resource intended to attract people / visitors. Tourist attractions are the soul of a destination, as they are part of the resource, environment and overall experience that visitors seek to consume in the places they visit. The attraction market is large, and together with the transportation and lodging sector, the attractions form one of the central components of tourism, providing an extremely important element in the visitor's experience and can directly influence the perception of a destination. However, the attractiveness sector lacks recognition of its relevance at the destination level, even though it is often the main motivator of the visit. Connell and Page (2011) state that one of the main problems in researching tourist attractions is defining what comprises an attraction. Thus, this paper aims to develop a model for evaluating the composition and development of a tourist attraction. This study has a qualitative and quantitative approach, and is characterized as an exploratory and descriptive research. Its approach is Qualitative, as it is a strategy used to answer questions about groups, communities and human interactions with the purpose of describing tourism phenomena, or the human behavior of their relationship with tourism (Peres, 2005). Quantitative, because everything is considered to be quantifiable, which means translating into numbers, opinions and information to classify and analyze them. It requires the use of statistical resources and techniques such as percentage, correlation coefficient, regression analysis, etc. (Silva and Menezes, 2005). It is characterized as exploratory because it is restricted to the objectives and seeks a greater knowledge on the subject to guide the direction to be followed. It is descriptive because it aims to describe characteristics of a given phenomenon, population or relationships between variables (Andrade, 2004).
