active

Created through Decree s/nº, of February 4, 2002, and by Law nº 11,486, of June 15, 2007, the Jericoacoara National Park, located in the State of Ceará, occupies an area of 8,863 hectares and is among the five most visited Conservation Units in the country. Located in a region of immense potential and tourist appeal, with dunes, beaches, lagoons and typical vegetation, the destination is consolidated and Jericoacoara is internationally recognized as one of the most beautiful beaches on the planet. The creation of the Park was one of the main factors that contributed to maintaining the characteristics of the place as a fishing village and maintaining its simplicity and rustic character, preserving unique aspects of the region and enabling tourist exploration to continue in a sustainable manner. The recent opening of the Jericoacoara Regional Airport tends to significantly increase the flow of visitors to the Park. In this sense, the delegation of services is essential not only to structure the conservation unit with the necessary means for effective access control, as well as to improve the user experience through improvements to internal roads, implementation of equipment to facilitate access, trail signage, provision of services such as food, accommodation and commerce. The qualification of the Park in the PPI, recommended through CPPI Resolution No. 79, of August 21, 2019 and ratified by Decree No. 10,147, of December 2, 2019, aims to grant the provision of a public service to support visitation , as well as support services for the conservation, protection and management of the conservation unit.
