The great discoveries made were not sufficient to mobilize the authorities in the use of the region for tourism Paleontology. More than 25% of the area of Rio Grande do Sul is in the Geopark, with more than 30 municipalities involved and 8% of population of region.

Currently less than 10 thousand tourists a year visit the Geopark. If each gaucho visit to the region once in a lifetime, we would have 150 thousnad tourists annually. This shows that tourism is being under utilized and compared with the 3 million who visit each year Gramado and Canela, the numbers are mediocre. If we compare what each tourist spends during a trip, we noticed a huge loss of hundreds of millions with the loss of tax revenue and job creation in the region.

Failure to engage the authorities to activate the Paleontological Tourism. You need the investment of public money on projects. The Project Dinosaur Highway ensure the movement of tourists and the return on this investment would be through taxes.
