Um estudo sobre o código de ética mundial do turismo e a sua importância para a formação do turismólogo

Abstract

This paper aims to demonstrate the intentions of the ten articles of the World Code of Ethics for Tourism, with the conditions of ethical positions as a point of reflection for hostilities and adversities that are exposed to occur in the performance of tourism. In order to fulfill this objective, I develop my theoretical basis divided into three parts, the first being the demonstration of the relevance of tourism where they demonstrate peculiarities and events that directly interfere in the tourist activity and the emergence of international organizations. I then discussed the importance of the International Code of Ethics, explaining its entire history and highlighting the importance of each article presented to the tourism sector. Finally, I bring the impacts that the Code of Ethics presents in Brazil and in the world. Methodologically, this work was conceived as an exploratory research of a qualitative nature with a bibliographical review technique and data analysis. I justify my choice of this topic because as a student of university of Management in Tourism I have the ambition that this work contributes to my future role as a tourist and that also cooperates for all the agents that are part of the tourism sector. In my final remarks I base my theory that the World Code of Ethics for Tourism is extremely relevant and that with the fulfillment of this document of good intentions the tourism activity will be carried out in a more humane, just and respectful way.
