The Development Bank of Minas Gerais (BDMG) announced yesterday, the 25th, the resumption of financing for micro and small companies in the state’s tourism sector, through an exclusive credit line for the sector.
The values will boost this sector, which is already relevant to the Minas Gerais economy. According to data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), the state leads tourist activities in Brazil in the last 12 months.
The bank’s credit contributes to promoting tourist activities in all regions of Minas Gerais and is in line with the decentralization of the State Government’s public policies for the sector, which has been recording performance above the national average.
The bank’s acting president, Antônio Claret Júnior, explains that the credit can be used as working capital, for investments or acquisition of equipment. The prerequisite for accessing the resource is that the company has the Register of Tourism Service Providers (Cadastur).
According to IBGE data released in April, Minas Gerais continues to lead the growth in tourist activities in Brazil.
The increase is 12.9% accumulated in the last 12 months, higher than the 4.9% recorded in the country in the same period. The positive result is one of the reflections of the policies of the State Secretariat for Culture and Tourism (Secult), which launched the Mais Turistas program last year.
The announcement of new tourist routes also contributes to the creation of jobs, many of them in the interior. Minas Gerais created approximately 50 thousand jobs in the creativity economy, which corresponds to 26% of all 187,866 jobs created until November last year, according to data from the New General Register of Employed and Unemployed People (Caged). The number places the segment as the main generator of jobs in the State.
