| Resumo: | The tourism sector was significantly impacted during the most severe periods of the Covid-19 pandemic. Similarly, tourism in the Pantanal region was also affected, even more with the aggravation of fires during the dry seasons, which coincide with the local high season. The objective of the research was to analyze the socioeconomic impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic and forest fires on the lives of social actors in the tourism sector in the municipality of Poconé, located in the state of Mato Grosso, focusing on rural housing. The methodology presents a qualitative and descriptive approach. Research techniques included bibliographic research and documentary analysis of secondary data, as well as semi-structured interviews with rural inns owners. 2020 pandemic and fires contributed to business closures, staff layoffs and a subsequent reduction in tax revenue. In the final months of 2021, parallel to the start of vaccination efforts and the decline in deceases, the sector's economic data showed a positive trend of recovery in the socioeconomic aspects of the region, which was maintained in 2022, as evidenced by the resumption of international and national tourist visitation. |
