Proposta de criação da “I Feira Virtual de Turismo de Jaguarão/RS”

Abstract

Jaguarão has 27,942 inhabitants according to IBGE, and in the last years its trade basically survives from shopping tourism due to the border, through the municipality of Rio Branco. With the beginning of a global pandemic caused by COVID-19, Jaguarão suffered a strong economic impact, as trade was closed for approximately 35 days. As in the whole country, shows were canceled, museums, cinema and theaters closed and with this scenario, we decided to create a virtual event bringing to the population of the city of Jaguarão / RS a little joy and culture, bringing attractions, shows and exhibitions, promoting local artists and encouraging a resumption of safe shopping tourism for our border city. Bibliographic research was carried out addressing topics such as historical heritage, city history, event tourism, shopping tourism and cultural tourism. This Applied Project aims to create the first virtual tourism fair in the municipality of Jaguarão / RS. Seeking to value local artists and stimulate tourism through the virtual, highlighting the beauty of this municipality. For this purpose, this applied project proposes to create a virtual event, with a website for its dissemination.
