SUMMARY:

Tourism is an important factor in the production of geographic
space. By establishing itself in a particular spatial area, it
generates new territorialities, interferes with existing
territorialities, modifies places and the landscape, often
generating socio-spatial conflicts. Extensive coastal areas of the
Northeast region of Brazil have been going through a
touristification process that has caused a series of socio-spatial
conflicts, provoking much debate about the action of tourism in
space, as well as its impact on the interests of local populations,
changing the perception , the feeling and identity of the
communities involved. Thus, the place of living of preexisting
populations, their social bonds and belonging are changed, to
meet consumption, for and by tourists. This phenomenon of a
geographical nature has generated the exclusion and
marginalization of hosts and the fading of aspects of the local
culture. In addition, the advance of the real estate market and
speculation around the value of land often exclude part of the
pre-existing population, even creating difficulties in accessing
their traditional livelihoods. These types of problems, very
widespread on the northeastern coast, have also been occurring
in a stretch of the north coast of Alagoas, with a linear extension
of 23 km, and covering parts of the municipalities of Porto de
Pedras, São Miguel dos Milagres and Passo de Camaragibe. .
This part of the coast of Alagoas forms the tourist destination
Rota Ecológica (RE), which became known through an
alternative tourist offer, composed mainly of lodging facilities
called “pousadas de charme”. However, as the offer of these
inns made the RE nationally and internationally known,
investments began to appear in this destination, from
approximately 2016 onwards, aimed at the construction of
tourist-real estate ventures, with architectural projects that de-
characterize the local landscape, going contrary to the style of
charming inns. The objective of this research is to analyze the
territorialization of tourism-real estate developments in the
tourist destination Rota Ecológica, seeking to understand the 

socio-spatial conflicts that they have caused. The research is
qualitative, descriptive, and adopts an inductive-deductive
approach. Data collection procedures included: field surveys, for
direct observation, photographic records, and exploratory
interviews; examination of remote images; and analysis of public
and private documents. The study concludes that real estate
developments have caused significant socio-spatial conflicts on
the Ecological Route.
