In the 21st century, access to information has grown considerably. Tourism represents a large part of the world economy, so citizens who are interested in economic development, theoretically, are concerned with the sustainable growth of this industry. In this sense, understandable sources of information are needed, according to legal requirements, to monitor the actions carried out within the scope of Tourism. The objective of this work is to analyze the conditions for the disclosure of public information, if they meet the minimum requirements of Law 12527/2011 in Brazil, known as Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). This is a cross-sectional, exploratory-descriptive study, using documentary analysis, carried out on the official websites of the Tourism Agencies of the states in the Northeast region of Brazil. As for the legal obligation to disclose information related to public management, there were communication failures and, even, lack of information, harming citizens' interests. It is concluded that there is a need for greater disclosure and understanding of the referred law to contribute to the effective exercise of citizenship. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
