Economic and tourism development in Poços de Caldas

Overview

Poços de Caldas is hosting a series of events focused on regional economic development, tourism, and local industry. An upcoming 5th National Seminar on Tourism Governance, supported by the Associação Mineira de Municípios, aims to discuss municipal management, sustainable tourism, and regionalization strategies.

Parallel activities include the 2nd Coffee Festival, Culture, and Rural Tourism Festival, which features the 19th Coffee Quality Contest and micro-lot auctions to support the local production chain. These auctions have previously seen individual bags exceeding R$ 9,000. To promote female entrepreneurship and regional income, a social incubator is also showcasing artisanal products made by local women during the festivities.

Economic discussions in the region involve the “Sul de Minas: Nossa Terra, Nosso Futuro” meeting. Vice President Geraldo Alckmin participated in this meeting alongside political leaders and rural producers to address coffee cultivation and the potential impacts of rare earth element exploration on the Poços de Caldas Plateau. Alckmin emphasized the federal government's intention to encourage the development of the productive chain for these minerals, including processing and industrialization, while advocating for a balance between economic growth and environmental preservation. Meanwhile, the municipal health department continues its “Vacimóvel” mobile vaccination project to improve local healthcare access.
