AB This  article  adopts  qualitative  exploratory  research,  undertaken  by  means  of  a  single-case  study on Praia do Forte, a tourism destination located on the Brazilian coast. Use was made of second-ary data and in-depth interviews with local residents, to answer the research question of how this desti-nation could follow a path of tourism development in a way that differentiates it from similar ones; and, as secondary objective if the degree of current development can still be seen as sustainable. Based on a systematic  perspective  of  tourism,  we  seek  to  extend  the  vision  of  development  so  as  to  include  soci-ocultural  and  environmental  dimensions  of  sustainability  based  on  Sachs'  (1986)  model.  The  results  indicate that three factors seem to answer the question
