A atividade turística, tradicionalmente, tem imagem positiva quanto a seus impactos gerais. Porém, o efeito de qualquer atividade sem controle pode levar a perdas irreversíveis, principalmente no ambiente natural.

Regionalização do turismo é uma tendência mundial. Na prática, significa que:

A hotelaria é um dos setores de maior importância para o desenvolvimento dos efeitos positivos da atividade turística. Dados do Boletim de Desempenho Econômico do Turismo (BDET Nº 46, Abril de 2015) destacam a seguinte conclusão sobre o setor: “Após dez trimestres consecutivos de crescimento no Faturamento dos meios de hospedagem, jan.-mar./2015 apresentou saldo negativo (-13%), queda brusca se comparado com o saldo do trimestre anterior, que foi de 16%. O saldo é correspondente à diferença entre as assinalações de majoração do faturamento e as de queda, que para o primeiro trimestre de 2015 apresentaram, respectivamente, os seguintes percentuais de respondentes: 34% e 47%, enquanto 19% indicaram estabilidade.” Para o gestor de turismo, essa informação indica que:

Mining tourism in Ouro Preto

Ouro Preto is surrounded by a rich and varied natural

environment with waterfalls, hiking trails and native vegetation

partially protected as state parks. Parts of these resources are

used for tourism. Paradoxically, this ecosystem contrasts with the

human occupation of the region that produced, after centuries, a

rich history and a cultural connection to mining, its oldest

economic activity which triggered occupation. The region has an

unlimited potential for tourism, especially in specific segments

such as mining heritage tourism, in association or not with the

existing ecotourism market. In fact, in Ouro Preto, tourism,

history, geology and mining are often hard to distinguish; such is

the inter-relationship between these segments.

For centuries, a major problem of mining has been the reuse of

the affected areas. Modern mining projects proposed solutions to

this problem right from the initial stages of operation, which did

not happen until recently. As a result, most quarries and other

old mining areas that do not have an appropriate destination

represent serious environmental problems. Mining tourism

utilizing exhausted mines is a source of employment and income.

Tourism activities may even contribute to the recovery of

degraded areas in various ways, such as reforestation for leisure

purposes, or their transformation into history museums where

aspects of local mining are interpreted.

Minas Gerais, and particularly Ouro Preto, provides the strong

and rich cultural and historical content needed for the

transformation of mining remnants into attractive tourism

products, especially when combined with the existing cultural

tourism of the region. Although mining tourism is explored in

various parts of the world in extremely different social, economic,

cultural and natural contexts, in Brazil it is still not a strategy

readily adopted as an alternative for areas affected by mining

activities.
