Abstract
This article addresses the relationship between archaeological tourism and its application in local development, with a focus on social inclusion and cultural and historical preservation. It seeks to explore the economic, inclusive and cultural value of archaeological tourism, analyzing how this field of knowledge can be applied to education and the teaching of subjects such as Science, Mathematics and Geography. By analyzing projects such as TURARQ and Rede Caiçara, it highlights the importance of the active participation of the local community in the process of structuring and managing tourism, ensuring that development is sustainable and respects the cultural identity of the territories. In addition, the article discusses how the teaching of Science, Mathematics and Geography can be integrated with archaeological tourism, with an emphasis on inclusive teaching, meeting the needs of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and High Abilities. The conclusion is that archaeological tourism, combined with inclusive education and appreciation of cultural heritage, can promote fairer, more sustainable and socially responsible development.
