This is a research, whose main issue is how PRODETUR / BA and Call 01/2008, the MINTUR, contributed to tourism in the town Alto. The objective is to build knowledge about the process of interiorization of tourism in Bahia, considering PRODETUR / BA as one of the main public policies for the decentralization of tourist activity from the Bahia capital to inland cities, and the implementation of community-based tourism. Thus creating tourist zones composed of nearby cities with similar characteristics, for the implementation of public policies and the development of tourism in Bahia, and encouraging initiatives of TBC in some localities of the state. Finally, after examining these actions, it is argued Tourism Community Based as an alternative to conventional tourism model for marginalized communities. The conclusion is that we need integration between the agencies responsible for the creation of public policies, so that in fact these take eect and benet the local population.
