“…As for this literature, it can be stated that the practices of non-agricultural activities in rural areas are increasingly responsible for the countryside economic occupation by the introduction of new strategies in the rural properties' management, with rural tourism being one of these practices. In this sense, we can indicate some examples of Brazilian municipalities where rural tourism is verified: Apodi, state of Rio Grande do Norte (Azevedo, & Rodrigues, 2015); Bento Gonçalves, Garibaldi and Monte Belo do Sul (Marques, & Santos, 2014) and Dois Irmãos (Blanco, 2004), state of Rio Grande do Sul; Blumenau, state of Santa Catarina (Reis, & Vavassori, 2013); Castrolanda, Entre Rios and Witmarsum (Soares et al, 2017) and Quatro Pontes, Marechal C. Rondom, Itaipulândia, Medianeira, Foz do Iguaçu, São Miguel do Iguaçu and Matelândia (Schmidt et al, 2016), state of Paraná; Ilhéus, state of Bahia (Araújo et al, 2017); Planaltina, state of Distrito Federal (Duarte, & Pereira, 2018); and Santana do Livramento, state of Rio Grande do Sul (Bidarte, & Pinto, 2021;Caliari et al, 2016;Cipolat et al, 2019).…”
