In the Chapada dos Parecis region, efforts are underway to structure an ethnotourism route that connects indigenous communities, natural attractions, and local businesses, with Sebrae/MT working to integrate this route across several municipalities. In Sinop, the municipal government is providing free consultancy to entrepreneurs to assist with the development of rural, eco, and leisure tourism. Infrastructure improvements have also been noted in the city, including the revitalization of Praça Plínio Callegaro and a R$ 664,000 sidewalk project near Parque Florestal utilizing eco-friendly materials to improve drainage and accessibility. Cultural and economic support continues through several channels. The Instituto Capacitar Mais has been authorized to seek up to R$ 3.34 million via the Culture Incentive Law for the “Circuito Saboreando Meu Brasil – MT 2027” project, an itinerant program designed to celebrate regional gastronomy and local traditions across 10 municipalities. Additionally, Desenvolve MT has engaged with entrepreneurs in Tangará da Serra to facilitate access to credit for business modernization, while the 1st Trade Fair in Tabaporã serves as another point of economic engagement. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-17: Mato Grosso do Sul hosts 2nd Heritage Journey and community events Mato Grosso do Sul is hosting the 2nd Heritage Journey to promote cultural preservation, alongside community wellness and anniversary celebrations in Campo Grande. 9 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mato-grosso-do-sul-launches-2nd-heritage-journey ### 2026-08-16: Mato Grosso initiatives focus on tourism, culture, and local development Mato Grosso is seeing diverse regional developments, including tourism route integration, cultural gastronomy projects, and infrastructure improvements in Sinop and surrounding municipalities. 11 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mato-grosso-initiatives-promote-ethnotourism-and-rural-development --- Cite as: Mato Grosso regional tourism and culture initiatives.
