Abstract

This study discusses the concepts of tourist experience, presenting the serendipity experience during tourist practice and the experience economy project launched by Sebrae and the Ministry of Tourism. Besides presenting Paquetá Island’s geography along with its history, this study presents the outline of the horse-drawn cart issue from 2010 on. Lastly, Paquetá’s touristic and landscape collection is identified. As a conclusion, the field research demonstrated that motivation, memories and feelings experienced by tourists during the island visitation are created by the possibility of getting to know the Island’s natural attractions and curiosities, of doing a cultural tour with relatives, of leisure practices and photos, and not by the use of transportation.
