Abstract

Tourism is an economic, political, social and cultural phenomenon that should be studied in particular by cartography, through the systematization of cartography of tourism, in which the most important design is not only the symbols to compose the legend, but also the reflection on how it should be organized, in order to clearly explain the correct reasoning about the phenomenon, with real information to the public who use those maps. Thus, it tries to understand the possible disabilities and ease of interaction of tourists with maps of Ouro Preto (MG). To this end, the work consisted of references and theoretical discussions that were followed by an analysis of three different tourist maps available in Ouro Preto, where was the survey of those, its scope and places of disclosure. With this, it is expected to contribute to the discussion about the map as a mediator of tourist experiences.
