National Parks Concession: In 2018, Brazil witnessed a 6.15% increase in tourism in protected areas, with a total of 12.4 million visitors, mainly in national parks. Taking into consideration that visitation in protected areas has a positive impact for local populations, and concession contracts can improve the visitors experience, the government is planning to expand concessions to private companies for public use of national parks and other categories of protected areas. Private companies will have the opportunity to offer services that parks do not provide directly, thus broadening the economic base of the region and the local communities surrounding parks or living inside the protected areas. Decree No. 9.791, of May 14, 2019 – Approves the National Tourism Plan 2018-2022 with the purpose of ordering governmental actions and guiding the State’s actions and the use of public resources for the development of national tourism.Brazil Parks Program: To visit is to protect!
