| Sumario: | The growing demand for recreational activities in natural environments has brought to light the need for tourist use planning tools aimed at the completion of a tourism ordained in which damage to visitation sites are minimal. Carrying capacity methodology is related to determining the maximum number of people in an area without to be caused significant damage caused to the environment visited. In Paraíba, coastal reef Picãozinho, Seixas and Areia Vermelha constitute reef formations where there is the realization of tourist activity during the period of low tide when natural pools containing a diversity of marine organisms become emerged. The methodological processes comprised bibliographic searching of the carrying capacity studies developed for three locations during the last ten years. In this study we aim to discurss again the efficiency of such proposals through a critical analysis that highlights the aspects of the methodology for the development of sustainable tourism. The results showed that the determination of the carrying capacity of an area is linked to a great subjectivity. There is no guarantee that through the number of users defined the impacts of a locality are reduced or eliminated. Actions complementary management in a continuous planning process are necessary for effective management. |
