Abstract
This article presents the Festival of Divino Espírito Santo and the Pilgrimage of Senhor do Bonfim, the main religious festivals in Natividade, a city located in the state of Tocantins, Brazil as motivators of religious tourism in the region. The research also reports the current scenario of tourism policies implemented in the state of Tocantins for the region of Natividade, where presently there is no focus on religious tourism but only on ecotourism. It is understood that religious festivals move the local economy, tourism and a whole chain of services that end up bringing together many people in the region and that there is still time to outline a model of local development as an alternative for tourism in the region.
