Sinalização como factor desegurança e desenvolvimento turístico no Parque Nacional de Zinave

Abstract

This monograph is part of the study of tourist signage, specifically addressing signage as a factor of safety and tourism development in Zinave National Park (PNZ), with the objective of understanding the importance of signage in the safety and tourism development of PNZ. The motivation for choosing this theme arises from the need to improve the quality or performance of tourist activities offered in the park based on the identification, description and categorization of existing tourist attractions in the conservation unit, through directional or signage boards in order to assist tourists, local communities, researchers and all stakeholders in the park. In this research, a descriptive and explanatory approach was used, regarding the nature of the data the research used qualitative and quantitative data, relating the following variables: the typology of the means used for signage in tourist attractions, content used in tourist signage boards, the state of maintenance of the signage boards,The language used, among other related elements, is detailed in the work. The research made it possible to understand that the signage placed in the park plays a very important role in the safety of tourists, park employees, communities, researchers, and students who frequent the PNZ, as it promotes safe circulation. On the other hand, it was found that the lack of signage, specifically at points of tourist interest such as Tavalikose and the Sacred Forest, can contribute to the inefficiency and dissatisfaction of visitors seeking to develop ecotourism activities in the PNZ.(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
