Conexões históricas na cidade do Rio de Janeiro (pós)pandemia

Abstract

The main objective of this article is to identify the historical connections of the city of rio de janeiro with health and well-being tourism, pointing out its redefinition in the post-pandemic context. As a secondary objective, the study aims to highlight how residents perceive their own health and well-being in the post-pandemic period, including the identification of new habits acquired in daily life and during travelling, both in terms of physical activity and nutrition. To reach these objectives, descriptive exploratory research was carried out, with two stages. Initially, a bibliographic survey was carried out on the topic, followed by an online quantitative survey with 256 respondents. The results indicate that rio de janeiro continues to be recognized as a tourist resort and with the covid-19 pandemic, new habits were acquired, both in daily life and when people travel. There was an increase in food care and physical activity, prioritizing contact with nature. Changes were also evident in the professional sphere, with the increase in hybrid and/or exclusively online workload, with developments in work relationships, which increased the level of stress and respect to free time, enabling health and well-being care. Within the city of rio de janeiro, security and urban cleaning are aspects that deserve to be prioritized within a public agenda aimed at the well-being of residents and tourists.
