The aim of this study was the analysis of tourist flow in a given Brazilian city and the visitor's view on the quality of infrastructure and tourist attractions. An official data base was used and a survey with 172 tourists performed. The research revealed a fluctuation in the tourist flow - causing economic and social unsustainability - and a lack of quality in the overall services according to the tourist's opinion,such as safety, urban and beach cleanliness, tourist information, commercial centers and tours. Integration between government, private sector and agencies promoting tourism is the key to improve the quality of the overall services.}, publisher={Journal of Tourism & Development}, author={Souza, Maria José Brabosa De and Ferreira, Elaine and Souza, Carlos Alberto Barbosa De}, year={2020}, month={Mar} }
