Public policies directed to territorial management governance strategies could have a significant influence on activities, like tourism. In fact, such policies could profoundly shape the regions. Besides, in territories with a socio-economic basis depending on tourism, such policies could present even more meaningful consequences in the region. Thus, throughout the evaluation of the public perceptions (surveys), the present research intends to produce further insights into how those regional policies could affect tourism activities in the Azores Islands.The study shows that more than 90% of the participants believe that Spatial Planning and Planning strategies directly impact tourism in the Azores Archipelago. Also, the research shows that the growth and development of Azores are sustainable and focusing on foreign high market segments. However, Azores do not have adequate territorial planning strategies and projects to increase residents’ quality of life.
