Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic significantly affected tourism activity resulting in changes in the intensity of tourist flows and the territorial dynamics of the activity in potentially attractive tourist destinations such as the Tourist Resorts of the State of São Paulo with representative Cultural and Natural Heritage. This research aims to analyze the characteristics of tourism during the pandemic period, in its various phases, in the municipalities of São Paulo that have patrimonial relevance in order to investigate the changes that occurred in the territorial dynamics of the activity in relation to the intensity, purposes and destination of tourist flows. The data and information collected were mainly based on semi-structured interviews with the managers of the Tourism and Culture area of the municipalities surveyed, resulting in the finding of the increase in proximity tourism, mainly in the interior destinations, and the workcation in the coastal destinations.
