Trilhas do parque metropolitano Armando de Holanda Cavalcanti (PMAHC): uma proposta de sinalização turística.

Abstract

This project addresses the significance of signaling implementation and maintenance in tourism activity zones settled in natural environments. The project is conducted at the Armando de Holanda Cavalcanti Metropolitan Park (PMAHC) in Cabo de Santo Agostinho, Pernambuco, with the primary goal of proposing a signaling system for the Park's trails. The study was conducted through a mixed method research based on statistical data from questionnaires filled out by hikers and in loco observations, with the intention of understanding the characteristics and current condition of local signaling. In this way, a signaling strategy will be presented, based on the peculiarities of the Park's seven mapped walking trails, as well as the project's schedule, total budget, resources supplier, and scientific and regulatory criteria. In summary, the execution of this project becomes feasible as it would encourage a smoother and safe tourist flow of visitors along the PMAHC paths, as well as allowing the Park itself to improve as a tourist destination in the region.
