Tourism is a social phenomenon that demands the integration of various areas of knowledge for its planning, development and management. The socio-spatial changes caused by activity involve transformations in social relations, land use and local economy, with direct impact on communities. The research adopted a qualitative methodological approach, based on bibliographic review and field research. The universe investigated included the elements inventoried between 2022 and 2023, as means of lodging, the geosites of Seridó Geopark located in Currais Novos, tourist guides and associative entities and similar. The Intermunicipal Consortium of Seridó Geopark and the municipal tourism manager were also included. The results indicated that the interviewees perceive the Seridó Geopark as a differential for the development of tourism in Currais Novos. However, significant changes and impacts have not yet materialized, requiring coordinated efforts among all actors involved, including the local community, the public sector, private initiative and third sector. The study also pointed to challenges to be overcome, such as the lack of adequate infrastructure, environmental issues and the lack of professional qualification for the tourism sector.EspaçoGeoparque SeridóMudanças socioespaciaisPlanejamentoTurismobachelorThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS SOCIAIS APLICADAS::TURISMO
