Acesso em: 17 jul. 2024.e- 1981-089Xhttp://repositorio.bc.ufg.br//handle/ri/25006The development of ecotourism, especially in Protect Area, should be the object of studies so that this practice does not take other paths than those recommended by this segment. For this reason, this work proposes to analyze low impact tourism, ecotourism, whose segment is the one that grows the most annually according to the World Tourism Organization(WTO).To observe its development in the eyes of periodization and scale, an appropriate method for a reflective and critical analysis based on time-space, is to understand the different environmental discourses and to understand the reason for the distance, often, from praxis. For this reason, it uses periodization to analyze ecotourism developed in Conservation Units, with the Terra Ronca State Park(GO),inserted in the Cerrado biome, as a spatial cutout. In addition to periodization as a methodology, exploratory analysis and secondary data obtained from official websites were used as instruments.porAcesso AbertoEcoturismoUnidade de conservaçãoRendaConservação ambientalEcotourismProtect areaIncomeEnvironmental conservationArtigo10.5380/geografar.v16i2.79373
