Our Tourism

Our vision for tourism in Povoado Bar da Hora is to preserve the local fishing culture and highlight the importance of this traditional way of life. We value regional food, offering visitors authentic dishes prepared with fresh, local ingredients. We seek to strengthen the community way of life, providing genuine experiences where residents are the protagonists.

​

Community-based tourism is the best option to achieve our vision, as it involves local communities in tourism development and management. We also involve new generations so that they can be protagonists of new sustainability models. TBC promotes the appreciation of culture, heritage and natural resources, benefiting host communities with income, empowerment and cultural preservation. At the same time, it provides travelers with an enriching and responsible experience, aligned with the values of sustainability and authenticity.

​

The adoption of this model was strengthened by strategic partnerships and continued support from various institutions. We deeply value our partnership with the Federal University of Maranhão (UFMA), whose support has been essential in enriching our community tourism with specialized training and sustainable practices. Collaboration with the Municipal and State Government, in addition to Pastoral da Pesca, has also been crucial for the development of projects that respect our cultural heritage and promote socioeconomic development.

​

Active community participation is the heart of our tourism. Each resident contributes to creating an authentic and welcoming experience, ensuring that the benefits of tourism are distributed in an equitable and sustainable way. Together, Bar da Hora and our partners are committed to conscious tourism, inviting everyone to a journey of discovery and community evolution.

​

We are ready to share our stories, hospitality and authentic experiences with the world, motivating visitors to explore our vibrant culture.
