Tourist activity was addressed as socio-cultural phenomenon, considering the case of (dis) (re) territorialization and power relations between staff producers of the tourism space. Given the complexity of this issue and the need for further studies that focus on the reterritorialization cases generated by tourism in the northeastern coast, given the action of the agents involved in the construction of the spaces generated by tourism, this work is then justified. For such a study an exploratory and qualitative study was conducted, through a survey of secondary and primary data, and interviews with leaders of public, private nonprofit community in the investigated county. In this sense, it was found that the process of (dis) (re) territorialization in the city investigated, permeates the contradictions resulting from the conflicts existing power while providing the location and implications for economic and sociocultural dimensions, its heart is found in the political, the relationship between entrepreneurship - established mainly by outsiders who own businesses in Pipa - and local government - composed entirely by insiders who work in the municipal headquarters, that until then, hold the political and the economic power. Thus, to understand the regionalization of tourism it is necessary to analyze its economic, socio-cultural and political dimensions, referring to the complexity of relationships between producing space agents. It is believed that the reterritorialization can be capable of producing territorialities contextualized to the culture, history, economy and local politics, understanding that the active participation of the natives will contribute to a less perverse, since this has been one of the faces experienced by local people / O trabalho busca compreender o processo de reterritorializa??o desencadeado pelo desenvolvimento do turismo em Tibau do Sul/RN, observando suas implica??es econ?micas, socioculturais e pol?ticas para a sociedade local. A atividade tur?stica foi abordada enquanto fen?meno sociocultural, considerando-se o processo de (des) (re) territorializa??o e as rela??es de poder entre os agentes produtores do espa?o tur?stico. Tendo em vista a complexidade dessa tem?tica e a necessidade de aprofundar estudos que enfoquem os processos desencadeados pela reterritorializa??o tur?stica no litoral nordestino, tendo em vista a a??o dos agentes envolvidos na constru??o dos espa?os produzidos pelo turismo, justifica-se o trabalho. Para tanto foi realizado um estudo explorat?rio e qualitativo, atrav?s de levantamento de dados secund?rios e prim?rios, e a realiza??o de entrevistas com as lideran?as do poder p?blico, iniciativa privada, terceiro setor e comunidade do munic?pio pesquisado. Nesse sentido, constatou-se que o processo de (des)(re)territorializa??o no munic?pio investigado, perpassa por contradi??es resultantes dos conflitos de poder existentes na localidade e embora traga implica??es nas dimens?es econ?micas e socioculturais, seu cerne ? verificado no ?mbito pol?tico, na rela??o entre o empresariado marcado predominantemente por outsiders que possuem neg?cios em Pipa e o Poder P?blico local integralmente composto por insiders que atuam na sede municipal, que at? ent?o, al?m de deter o poder pol?tico tamb?m detinham o poder econ?mico. Dessa forma, compreender a territorializa??o pelo turismo ? analisar suas dimens?es econ?mica, sociocultural e pol?tica; remetendo-se ? complexidade das rela??es entre os agentes produtores do espa?o. Acredita-se que a reterritorializa??o pode ser capaz de produzir territorialidades contextualizadas ? cultura, ? hist?ria, ? economia e ? pol?tica local, entendendo que a participa??o ativa dos nativos vai contribuir para um processo menos perverso, uma vez que essa tem sido uma das faces vividas pela popula??o local
