SUMMARY:

Discussions about public policies and tourism are essential to understand the tourism planning and development process as it’s these policies that often induce the paths taken to improve tourism. In the global context, it’s already possible to experience negative reflexes of the development model thought based on tourism in the receiving communities and, with this, generating challenging consequences. This movement has occurred periodically in historic centers in Brazil. However, public programs and projects that have been launched since the 1970s seeks to create new dynamics for Brazilian historical centers. Inserted in this urban context, the ports of the Northeast region have historical connections with the capitals of each state. To reflect the economic, social, political, and cultural movement between ports and cities is to think about how cities developed under the surroundings of maritime terminals. Associated with Brazilian policies and with the advent of the FIFA World Cup 2014 the cities of Natal, Salvador, Fortaleza and Recife had the implementation of Passenger Maritime Terminals - PMTs in the local ports. The PMTs emerge to provide a new dynamic for tourism and surroundings covering it beyond the departure and arrival of passengers by sea. For the research, we take the Ribeira neighbourhood and the PMT of Porto de Natal to portray a beginning of more intrinsic relations between individuals that add up in the political arena since the revitalization policies of historic centers with the port area gain visibility when perceiving this area as a potential for social and, above all, tourism development. The goal of this research is to understand the formation of the political arena defined for the construction and operation of the Maritime Passenger Terminal of Port of Natal. The research techniques used in this research are the application of Offe's (1981) theory regarding the conception of a political arena, as well as the discourse analysis proposed by Pêcheux (1997), taking the place of the subjects interviewed in the plot of their speeches, contexts, and ideologies. In the same measure, Bourdieu's theory (1989, 2004, 2007, 2011, 2019) was also sought to understand the habitus and field of social agents involved in the process of building the PMTs political arena. Besides, we also used the issue-attention cycle of Downs (1972) to understand the process of implementation and execution of the public policy for the implementation of the PMT in the Port of Natal. In addition to Lindón's (2008, 2008a) theory of specialized violence to understand the process of depreciation of the Ribeira neighbourhood in connection with the PMT. With this context, we conclude that it is necessary to transcend the understanding of tourism that concerns the part of the public administration and must face tourism as a complex and dynamic phenomenon that embraces several agents in the planning and execution process. We also observed that the agents that are involved in the arenas that came from the PMT are random in the field with few connections but with approximate ideologies. Also, as an impact of the process of devaluation of the Ribeira neighbourhood, it was found that the PMT is isolated in the context of the area and most of the attractions of the historic circuit are in terrible conditions of cleaning, also maintenance and access and they don’t have security equipment.
