Abstract:
This article stems from a study carried out in the municipality of Queimadas, located in the state of Paraíba. The
present research aimed to evaluate the practice of cyclotourism in the city of Queimadas-PB, which recently the
current management in partnership with a private company, developed the project "Circuito de Ciclotourismo
Cidade das Pedras", as well as to identify if in fact the municipality has tourist potential for the elaboration of
this practice. Through bibliographical research related to the study of the landscape, in addition to applications
of online forms with the population of the municipality, an investigation of these data was carried out in order to
understand the tourist practices present in this, especially the activity of cycle tourism and to verify if in fact it
had tourist attractions that could encourage its development. It was observed, based on the analyzes extracted
from the surveys and the questionnaire, some reflections on issues related to infrastructure, accommodation and
security of the points considered tourist in the municipality, since, from the results of this study, it was
recognized that the aforementioned municipality it does have tourist potential beyond what is currently
absorbed, however, it lacks public and private infrastructure, security and knowledge of the area, and there may
be a union between the current management and the population to praise the existing tourist activity, as well as
the preservation and conservation of these spaces.
