Alfredo Chaves Tourist House Project - Architecture connecting places

Tourism is an important vector for local sustainable development. The municipality of Alfredo Chaves (Espírito Santo) has several natural and tourist attractions, attracting tourists from various parts of Brazil and the world. However, support and information services for tourists are scarce. Given this, this article aimed to develop, at a preliminary project level, a Tourist Support and Experience Center, proposing a space to meet the needs of tourists. To achieve this, the following methodological procedures were adopted: bibliographical research, field research, documentary research and diagnosis of the project area. As a contribution, it appears that Tourist Service Centers are essential urban equipment to promote meaningful connections between the place, local culture and tourists.
