Abstract

The Blue Economy (BE) is a new economic model that seeks to unite the economy and sustainability through the ocean. The objective of this study is to analyze stakeholders’ perceptions of the impacts of sun-and-beach tourism on the southeastern coast of Brazil from the perspective of the BE. A field diary, participant observation, and 37 semi-structured interviews were used. The analysis was carried out through data triangulation and SWOT analysis. Sun-and-beach tourism presents the richness of natural resources as a “Strength.” Regarding “Weaknesses,” stakeholders recognize that the “Strengths” can generate “Opportunities.” In relation to “Threats,” they mainly highlight environmental neglect. Considering both the economic benefits and the environmental and social impacts, cooperation among stakeholders is essential for the implementation of management proposals.
