Snapshot on scientific production on transportation and tourism in Brazil: towards a strategic research agenda

The relationship between transportation and tourism is inseparable, and both are services that provide user experiences. The systemic view has been paradigmatic for the treatment of this interface. However new approaches have emerged, including others based on the larger web of mobility. In order to create a new research agenda on Transportation and Tourism involving Brazil, it is necessary to investigate the scientific production to verify the state of the art, which is the main objective of this study. This research is exploratory and descriptive of a qualitative nature, and it was carried out through a bibliographic survey and software support was used for the spreadsheet, textual and geographical approaches. As for the results, on the one hand, this snapshot allows us to understand the epistemological advances. On the other hand, it provides indications for these advances to be incorporated into the discussions on planning and management of transportation and Brazilian tourist destinations, constituting premises of the Applied Social Sciences. Besides, from the state of the art identified, it is possible to launch new interdisciplinary perspectives on the future of research, proposing a strategic agenda for research in tourism and transportation, based on creativity and innovation in both the theoretical and methodological fields.
