Logo
It is a privilege for the Region to be named Coração Paulista (Paulista Heart), therefore the symbology of a heart was conceived as essential in the creation of the logo, which was proposed by two members from Lençóis Paulista who are associated with Economic Development and Tourism Departments.
In its figurative meaning, the heart is the core of sensations, perception and emotions. The image remind us of deepness.It bring us to mind comfort and warmth so typical of the countryside.The road depicts the connection, the bond that allows us to reach to our destinies. The short path conveys the sensation of nearness. Besides, the road points to the most usual way to get to other destinies inside the region. The chosen typography is relaxing and ordinary. When it comes to colors, red catches our eyes, inspires us feelings,experiences and energy.In a darker nuance maching with black expresses strength, sobriety and mistery. Those colors also remind us the ones from São Paulo State. The depiction of all these elements in subtle lines shows us the simplicity and hospitality which are so typical and outstanding in the cities that constitute our Region. The Heart that is positioned roadside, indicates us a right spot in our destiny in a dynamic, in movement and in a continuous path.
Director of Tourism Plan
The Director of Tourism Plan in Lençóis Paulista is a vital instrument for the growth of our touristic activity in our municipal domain, it consists of guidelines and strategies to be adopted to its local increment and structure.
The Plan has been preceeded by the Tourustic Offer Inventory,which consisted of ressearches on the municipal touristics attractions, which were already charaterized that way, added to the potential resources that also could become attractions. Besides the touristic offer, we provide support services to tourists, such as: accommodations, eating services, several kinds of commerces, means of transportation, places which are fitted for social events, among otheres. Similarly, a ressearch has been done on the basic urban infrastructure which although it is not directly related to touristic attractions, it can be an influence on the experience perception of our tourists.
The Diretor of Tourism Plan is divided into three chapters: 1) A Demand Study, containing the Touristic Demand resseach results, its charts, table of results and comments; 2)Studies and Analyses, resulting in the Diagnoses, which is combined with the Touristic Inventory Offer, that although is independent from this body of publication, it is an important part of this job; 3) Conception of Strategies and Action Plans, derived from all the data put together in treaties in the Inventory and Touristic Prognostic, Guidelines, Programs and Projects.
