Resumo: The article discusses two birding tourism experiences, the first in Cuba on a national scale and the second in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, in Brazil. Based on the analysis of the economic importance of wildlife watching tourism, the concepts of bird watching tourism and its relationship with nature tourism and ecotourism are discussed. For both territories, the characteristics of avifauna, its composition, hotspots and species of special interest, the research carried out on it, the organization of tourist activity and the fundamental markets are analyzed. The ornithological and logistic criteria that determine the design of tourist itineraries for the most specialized segment are mentioned, which explain the standardization of a spatial-temporal model in Cuba and how this tourism is organized in Mato Grosso do Sul, around events and actions that so far have achieved a great participation of the national segment in the Brazilian case and the international segment in the Cuban case.
