If you followed our last article about the Municipal Tourism Councils It is known that 2026 brought a structural change to Brazilian municipal tourism. With MTur Ordinance No. 1/2026, maintaining an active COMTUR (Municipal Tourism Council) ceased to be a good practice and became a mandatory condition for joining the... Map of Brazilian Tourism — with verifiable documentation, recorded meetings, an ongoing work plan, and formal compliance criteria to be met.
The question that managers and advisors frequently ask us is straightforward: How can we manage all of this in practice?
Most councils still operate with scattered spreadsheets, lost emails, and documents without expiration dates. This creates a real risk of non-compliance—and a loss of resources and opportunities for the municipality.
It was to solve this problem that Girus developed the TurisFlow.
What is TurisFlow?
TurisFlow is a web-based municipal tourism management platform created by Girus Soluções em Turismo, developed especially for COMTURs and IGRs (Regional Governance Bodies) that need real control over their documentation, compliance, and planning.
The proposal is simple and straightforward: centralize compliance, documents, meetings, the municipal tourism plan, and the COMTUR work plan in one place — without the need to install applications, without technical bureaucracy, with immediate access through a web browser.
In numbers, TurisFlow delivers: 2 user profiles (COMTUR and IGR), monitoring of 8 criteria of Art. 13 from MTur Ordinance No. 1/2026, monitoring of 9 pillars of the Municipal Tourism Plan and access 100% web, no installation required.
The real challenge of managing a COMTUR
Before discussing the solution, it's important to clearly name the problem—because it's more common than it seems.
Documents scattered and out of control. Minutes, plans, appointment documents, and budget allocation receipts are kept in physical folders, personal drives, or emails—without visible expiration dates or a centralized history. When the Ministry of Tourism requests proof, finding all of this becomes a race against time.
Compliance with the MTur Ordinance is manual. Meeting all the criteria of Article 13 requires constant monitoring. Without a dedicated tool, items expire or become pending without anyone noticing in time.
IGRs without a consolidated vision of the region. Regional Governance Bodies need to monitor several municipalities simultaneously—and currently they do so through email inquiries or phone calls. There is no dashboard that shows the real status of each COMTUR (Regional Tourism Council) in the region.
What changes with TurisFlow?
The platform transforms these three problems into managed and visible processes.
Automated checklist. The 8 criteria of Article 13 of MTur Ordinance No. 1/2026 are always visible, with real-time status updates. No item expires or becomes pending without the manager being aware.
Repository with expiration date. Each document has an issue date, expiration date, and a direct link for access. Minutes, regulations, work plans — everything organized and locatable in seconds.
Consolidated regional vision. The IGR Manager displays all municipalities in the region on a single dashboard, with average compliance and alerts per municipality.
Monitored Municipal Plan. Actions distributed across 9 strategic axes, aligned with the National Tourism Plan, with implementation monitored in real time.
Two profiles, one platform
TurisFlow recognizes that tourism management has two distinct levels — and delivers a dedicated experience for each.
Municipal Tourism Council — COMTUR
For council members and managers responsible for local operations: meeting dates, documents, Municipal Tourism Plan, Comtur Work Plan, and compliance with MTur Ordinance. TurisFlow is the council's daily routine.
The features available for this profile include:
- Dashboard with compliance alerts.
- Document repository with expiration date
- Meeting management and minutes recording.
- Monitoring of the Municipal Tourism Plan (9 axes)
- COMTUR Work Plan (with implementation monitoring)
- Monitoring of financial resources (LOA)
- SISMAPA registration status
Regional Governance — IGR
For members of the Regional Governance Bodies, responsible for inter-municipal coordination: they monitor several COMTURs (Regional Tourism Councils) simultaneously, hold regional meetings, and ensure that the region progresses as a whole.
The features available for this profile include:
- Regional panel with all municipalities
- Average compliance and alerts by municipality.
- SISMAPA status of each COMTUR
- IGR Meeting Management
- Regional declarations
- Exporting reports
- Simulation of the COMTUR profile (“View as…”)
Six integrated modules: everything the board needs, all in one place.
TurisFlow is organized into six modules that cover everything from the most bureaucratic documents to the strategic monitoring of the tourism plan.
Smart Dashboard — Home screen with compliance summary, next meeting, critical alerts, and action plan progress. All visible in seconds.
Documents & Compliance — Complete checklist for Article 13 of MTur Ordinance No. 1/2026. Document repository with type, issue date, validity, and access link.
Meeting Management Scheduling, agenda, location, and minutes recording all in one workflow. Control of ordinary and extraordinary meetings with a complete history.
Municipal Tourism Plan — Monitoring of execution across 9 strategic axes, with individual progress, status, and responsible parties. Import via template spreadsheet.
Work Plan — COMTUR's actions and activities, including deadlines, responsibilities, and progress. Managing what the council needs to do, not just what the plan outlines.
Tourism Resources — monitoring of the budget allocation (LOA), amount spent, available balance and expense receipts linked to each action.
Who is TurisFlow for?
Municipal tourism secretaries and managers who need to keep the board active, documented, and compliant with federal requirements — with real control over deadlines, documents, and meetings.
Presidents and advisors of COMTUR who work on a voluntary basis and need a tool to organize the work of the group without creating more bureaucracy.
IGR Members who need to monitor the situation in several municipalities and coordinate regional actions without relying on spreadsheets and individual charges.
Mayors and municipal leaders who understand tourism as a strategic public policy and want to ensure that their municipality remains on the Brazilian Tourism Map — with access to resources, programs, and federal recognition.
An active COMTUR (Municipal Tourism Council) is the starting point. TurisFlow is what sustains it over time.
One of the biggest challenges for Municipal Tourism Councils is not their creation—it's their continuity. Many councils are formalized, hold their first meetings with enthusiasm, and over time, lose momentum. Minutes cease to be recorded, meetings become sporadic, and documents expire without anyone noticing.
With the TurisFlow, However, this logic changes. Organization becomes part of the process, not an additional task. The council gains a structure that accompanies its routine—and ensures that, at any time, the municipality can prove that it is complying with what the law requires. More than that: that it is managing local tourism with seriousness and commitment.
