Belezas invisíveis: o turismo desconhecido de Teresina

Abstract

Tourism directly involves the practice of traveling to a place different from one's usual environment, whether motivated by business, sports, religion, leisure, events, among others, and is defined by a specific period of time. Thus, the main objective of this work is to showcase, through photographs, both well-known and lesser-known tourist attractions in Teresina, the capital of Piauí, as well as their potential. To this end, a photobook entitled "Invisible Beauties: The Unknown Tourism of Teresina" was developed through exploratory and experimental research. Photographs were taken in pre-selected locations around the city that align with this perspective. In an increasingly digital world, where social media plays a central role, images are widely used to convey information and spark public interest—especially when it comes to sharing new experiences or highlighting different places. In this context, the final product of this work consists of photographs of 12 locations in Teresina, aiming to present, inspire, historicize, and document these places.
