Resumo
This paper discusses the autonomy of the State in the public policy process regarding the tourism sector. Therefore, it intends to examine the political discussions underlying Bill 32/2012 and underlying the process of implementation of Complementary Law 1.261/2015, whose origin comes from the aproval of Bill 32/2012. It should be noted that both Bill 32/2012 and Complementary Law 1.261/2015 aim at broadening the state financial support in order to include not only the touristic resorts but also the municipalities with touristic vocation. With regard to the methodology, we used a qualitative approach and conducted a case study, which included participant observations, semi-structured and focused interviews. The empirical research revealed that Bill 32/2012 faced obstacles, throughout its trajectory, since it threatened the status quo. However, at the end of four years of negotiations (i.e., from March of 2011 to March 2015) such difficulties were overcome and Bill 32/2012 was finally approved giving birth to Complementary Law 1.261/2015. Thus, Complementary Law 1.261/2015 which is the legislation in force will be also object of our study in order to find out whether obstacles are emerging to deter its implemantation. Actually, Complementary Law 1.261/2015 presently in force established new directions for tourism in the state of Sao Paulo, creating a set of technical requirements for selecting these localities, which opposes the traditional logic that has long dictated their choice, particularly that of the touristic resorts.
