Abstract :The theme of this article focuses on the various insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(and contradictory); measures to deal with the disastrous consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic, that is, on the one hand, by encouraging the immediate resumption of Tourism leveraged by the current administration of the Federal Government of Brazil insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(such as a strategy to fight the economic crisis); and by protest actions by representatives of the productive sector of Tourism and, on the other hand, by popular demonstrations by residents of Brazilian tourist destinations, against such a resumption of the activity.

The theoretical foundation is based on: theories of the sociology of absences and emergencies, by Boaventura dos Santos; Hannah Arendt insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2010); about the rise of the social sphere that undermined the original distinction between public and private, with action insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(praxis); being one of the fundamental human conditions.

The discussions that open from there permeate conceptual debates on an ethical foundation of public policies, to mitigate the effects of structural crises, and the current impact of the pandemic that devastates the world scenario. And if these are in the field of mitigation or irresponsible promotion, under the commitment to save jobs, opposing ethical attitudes in the exercise of imposing violence of legal authority, and the principles of public discussion on `mutual commitment and common deliberation`.
