The present work presents as a theme: Preliminary analysis of the tourism potential of Serra do
Vital-PB. Therefore, its main objective was to analyze and identify the type of
developed at the place of study chosen. Aiming to present the tourist attractions
existing potentials. The study was based on the deductive method and used as
research, bibliographical research and the field trip for data collection, in order to corroborate
with which literature deals with the theme. The results of this analysis showed that the
development of the tourism activity of this rural area results from the demand of tourists for
places of rest and leisure in order to escape everyday life in urban space. It was found that
the type of tourism implanted does not fit the presuppositions of the typification of Tourism of
Local Base, nor of Community Tourism. Even if you are in a rural area,
preserving the local culture from the gastronomic and architectural point of view is a
Tourism in Rural Areas.
