摘要：Nowadays, it is noticeable the importance of tourism as an economic activity to the development of a place. However, to succeed in this area, many elements must be considered, as infrastructure investments in transportation, hotels, restaurants, events, and the organization of touristy information. The touristy information becomes very important, and it can be worked in two different forms: tourism planning, providing subsidies for the touristy development of a place, and tourist’s guidance and orientation, when he is visiting a touristy center. Then, the geographic space, which has touristy interest, its structure, functionality and dynamics must be displayed through cartographic documents that have the purpose of helping tourism planners and the tourist to make decisions.
The tourist cartography, displayed on graphics form to represent the geographic touristy information, has a vital role, once it becomes responsible for the making of cartographic documents that will work as a base to the development of touristy activity, and will also provide tourists a general view of the geographic space which has touristy interest, using information that can be important to help tourists planning their activities of visiting and coordinating their available time. In order to do that, the coordination of all information in different hierarchies, with a global view of the area, which allows the user to locate him at space and time simply and directly, is a feature that must follow all touristy cartographic information.
On the other hand, the concepts of cartographic, geometric, projective and cognitive (scale, map projections, generalization and symbolization) transformations must be adapted to be used in different ways, such as: paper maps, digital maps and web. Scale knowledge, for example, is essential to give tourists an idea of their movement among different centers. However, the generalization, sometimes very strict in touristy maps, cannot display information that would be vital to help the tourist locating himself when he consults a map.
This work aims to discuss some cartography and tourism concepts, applied to tourist cartography conceptions. At first, it is displayed a series of ways to work with touristy mapping. Then cartographic concepts are discussed, in order to connect them to each tourist necessity.
