In view of the critical moment of the financial health of the city, emerging speculation about this or that activity that will bring development to Marabá. It seems a litany. They speculate up, take up photos of meetings and then they go to the pages of newspapers. A local newspaper ran the headline on its cover: "Steel in Sight". And these will talk proliferating and creating expectations and comments are optimistic, "Have you seen the good news? From steel to come?" Others already talk of the partners and the thing grows without more careful evaluations. Politicians are adept at making factoids. But like many of speculation and do not even realize it was reported that a study group would be formed. That game scene of politicians who need to bury him. If a study group has been formed, then it is because the issue needs more subsidies. I am not opposing me to development, just see the rush of some disturb.
It seems like a game of politics, making votes. Marabá
promise that will bring development through mining throughout the state. others
fill the ball and everything looks speculation. And much depends on the private
sector, investments of millionaires, billionaires means nothing easy. They say
that such a measure will be an important alternative to the strengthening of
the local economy. I see that many corporate actions require a long time to
happen. And the thing will propagate in the press like wildfire. These issues
guided the development of county economy and the state, looks like a guitar
string one, always the same, the same vocation and, in concrete, in today,
nothing happens. It will happen one day, that's right, not now. And what should
we do now? Wait for mining results, for example? We will be the largest
producer of Brazil ores in 2017. But all this does not develop the region,
there is a lot of sacrifice to maintain that production does not generate taxes
and not the basis for the construction of a small school. This mineral wealth
some, the resources generated also Whither nobody knows.
The Marabá City is only seen to be a logistical junction and the proximity to the mines of Carajás, support structure to foreign capital and profits and investments are not enough for the population of this rich city whose population is poor, the HDI is very low. Vocations municipalities are left aside, production through policy has only one focus., Mining.
There is still the view that the important vocations as factors of production are: agriculture, livestock, industry and trade, and simple. Do not open your eyes to the tourism sector which is also a production and consumption sector and requires much less investment. And the reality is that not investing in tourism potential, do not make a plan with experts on what can be deployed through our rivers, beaches, lakes, our forests, waterfalls, historic buildings, churches, our museums, our gastronomy, our Zoobotânico and our local culture. Anyway, we can think about planning business involvement in the hotel industry, restaurants, craft groups, boaters, rabeteiros and etc., making them participate in training for a good welcome to tourists.
These measures take time to be implemented, do not happen today for tomorrow. They need to start. But has the advantage of consolidating a solid economic structure that will be maintained for a long term and visible benefits will change the face of the city, more clean, well cared for, well wooded, signed and accessible to all. Today we can not compute what we are failing to win. I mean, we are losing with the decline and devaluation of the tourist industry, even with the construction of Marabá Convention Center will not know how to make it viable financially because, lacking municipal and state planning. We run the risk of having a "White Elephant" and millions invested no return.
The shortsightedness of the tourist vocation, or failure to exploit it has caused financial discomforts entrepreneurs, they are alone on the battlefield. The success of leverage tourism will be reflected in various ways, through specialized workforce preparation services as guides, receptionists, will encourage people from Maraba to professionalize to cater to tourists, the gastronomic sector expand poder'se and open new stores. The whole city can be positively impacted, as the public transport, there will be the creation of more jobs and trade will be refreshed.
Anyway, the northeastern coast until a short time ago did not explore tourism as a strong vocation. Today we see the great transformations achieved, it has become a tourist receptive polo national fantastic or gringos, with excellent hotels of all categories. Everything was done to make it attractive to visitors, the cuisine was perfected, the entertainment that before had not made the region stand out in the national tourism scene and growth is continuous. If we have all that tourism needs, if we travel to see gringo, then the thing must walk. Meanwhile, we can say that the northern region has not yet paid attention to what exists in the Brazilian Amazon, its rivers, its legends, its unsurpassed environmental wealth. And this is also reflected in Maraba. Mining goes with everything and the tourist vocation still sleeps passively.
