Estudo aponta soluções para ampliar o potencial turístico nas cidades gaúchas,

Um estudo inédito feito pelo Ministério do Turismo, em parceria com o
Instituto Tecnológico Latino-Americano de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento, destaca
o artesanato como uma das formas para incrementar o turismo no Rio Grande
do Sul. [...] A ideia é promover o artesanato como um “motivo” a mais para a
permanência de turistas no Rio Grande do Sul. “Queremos que o turista venha

peculiaridades de cada cidade e, com isso, movimente toda uma cadeia produtiva”,
