- Abstract
The production of cachaça has its economic, cultural and touristic condition, many times transformed by the characteristics of the region of production. Based on this assumption, this article aims to reflect on the tourist and socioeconomic potencial of alembics in the region of São João del-Rei/MG. A qualitative and quantitative methodology was used with the application of structured questionnaires, including with producers, workers and local people, so that it was possible to assess the socioeconomic profile of the alembics. With the research it was possible to understand the diferente desires in relation to the plurality of profiles of the producers. Thre are those who identify cachaça by family tradition or hobby, there are those who identify it as a source of incomo and those who use the cultural value of the product as a tourist attraction. Therefore, the wishes of the producers also differ, Where there are those who aim at a greater bureaucratization of cachaça production in the region, aiming at the registration of ilegal producers in order to have a fairer competition, while ilegal ones have financial difficulties to obtain the necessary apparatus to the registry. Tourist alembics, however, yearn for a tourist circuit that encompasses alembics, under the argument that alembics tourism could be an activity that would help strengthen regional economic development.
