Resumen
Event tourism plays an important role in the development and promotion of a destination. Through the activity, social, economic and cultural development is noticeable. The present study is exploratory-descriptive and with a qualitative approach, dealing with an analysis about the carnival festivity in Natal/Rio Grande do Norte, which aims to understand how the event has become a tourist attraction. The event has a history marked by a hiatus, which separates the golden days of carnival festivities and the resumption of the event in the capital of Rio Grande do Norte, which, currently, has been attracting an expressive number of revelers and, thus, reinserting itself in the tourist route of events of this nature. The following data collection techniques were adopted: documentary research on the event; bibliographical research on the themes of events, carnival and tourist attractiveness; application of questionnaires, on the days of the event, in person, with revelers, and also online; in addition to participant observation. It is concluded that the event, each year, has been increasing and becoming an attractive festivity for the local resident and a tourist attraction for demands from other locations. Its multicultural character becomes an identity of the event, which addresses all musical and cultural styles, thus becoming a potentially promising event in the tourism field.
