| Summary: | An essential function of planning is to provide a strategy base that allows destinations to confront change successfully. This article focuses on the elaboration of a tourism planning method based essentially on the most effective procedures identified through an analysis of the contributions of various authors who suggest methods of proved efficiency. The result is an original system that incorporates the strengths and avoids the weaknesses of the proposals analysed while adapting it to the Brazilian context and applying it to a specific case study (Caldas Novas in Goias). The proposal is structured on the basis of two key priorities: a physical focus guided towards environmental sustainability; and a social focus reinforcing the role of the receiving community in the tourist experience.
