Abstract

Tourism is a human invention full of purposes and ideologies. For this reason, the tourist space should not be assumed as a natural one. On the contrary, it must be questioned in its essence, in order to identify the intentions behind its production. This paper aimed to analyze the touristification process of Fernando de Noronha (one of the most popular and desired destinations in the country) between 1960 and 2016. Methodologically, this study is characterized as a descriptive research of a qualitative approach, based on bibliographical and documentary research and interviews. The analysis of Fernando de Noronha’s touristification process has identified that throughout its history, and regardless of the management that was at the forefront of the archipelago, the island space has always been thought to fulfill the role of a luxury destination. This tendency, moreover, remains nowadays. Is was observed that this logic has been responsible for the migration of several islanders and for the destructuring of the local social fabric.
