The research carried out a comparative analysis of 15 national and international tourism observatories. For the design of the observatory, historical information, market studies, geographic location, information and communication technologies, collaboration and inter-institutional relations, expert opinions, among others, were considered. It has been concluded that the creation of an observatory favors the decision-making process of government actors and that they are relevant to the tourism sector, sustainability, and local socio-economical development.
