Abstract
This chapter dialogues with the field of studies and analysis of public policy, which has its pioneering
work in the 1940s and is in constant development. Given the various definitions of public policies, there
is a convergence that these include articulations between various actors - public and private - which
makes it important to consider the relational perspective for analysis purposes. Governments have been
dedicated to formulating public policies in specific domains, seeking to guide, regulate, as well as develop
certain activities, such as tourism. In this sense, the municipality of Ouro Preto, a World Heritage Site,
a tourist destination with a highly relevant historical and cultural heritage, which has established public
tourism policies and tourism management tools, becomes a potential locus for investigation. In this
context, we seek to investigate the interactions, from the perspective of the network approach, between
the actors that make up the municipal public management of tourism in the city of Ouro Preto, Brazil,
considering the multidimensionality of political interest in the public-private sector. The contribution
of this work continues to improve the understanding of the implications of network management in
tourist destinations, articulating the themes of governance and policy networks that circumstantially
pass-through discussions on social networks. Thus, contribute to the field of studies on collaborative
forms in tourism planning and management. Finally, it is concluded that the application of this
theoretical-methodological model allows to assess the articulations and behaviors of the actors within
spaces of participation, as well as the positions and exchanges that affect the results facing the
construction of public tourism policies.
