RESUMO

Tourism is an economic activity that is characterized by the consumption of space. The visible portion of the geographical space - the landscape - is very important for this economic activity. The landscape is the first contact the tourist has with a destination, hence the importance of the landscape for the location visited. We could say that the landscape is a tourism heritage, as it is a visual synthesis of natural and human elements in a territory, elements that are transformed, through their original and unique values, into tourism resources. However, the landscape as a support for the development of tourism activities must be understood and analyzed if it is to support the practice of tourism, based on its urban uniqueness as a tourist attraction. The method used in this study is predominantly qualitative, and the data collection and analysis tools were developed based on a bibliographic, documentary and iconographic review. After collecting the data, they were selected and arranged, favoring in the analysis, the descriptive method of interpretation and explanation of the potential of the urban landscape in the town. Based on the results, which indicate that the landscape is an attraction for the practice of tourism, this study analyzes the urban landscape of the town of Dourados-MS as a potential aspect for tourism development
