Resumo: In the city of Quito, a world heritage site, there are recent investigations that have evidenced the existence of international residential tourists. However, there are no analysis studies of actors associated with residential tourism as an emerging trend. Being the main axis of this research to carry out an approach to the analysis of social actors considering the government sector, business, local community, immigrant associations and residential tourists. For this, qualitative and quantitative studies were carried out that included the analysis of interested parties (API) based on matrices of functionality and interactions, the application of interviews to experts from different sectors and the application of surveys to the Quiteña community to evaluate their opinions, behavior, functions and interactions in residential tourism. The results indicate that government and real estate actors have a favorable-passive opinion and behavior, while in the local community it is moderately favorable-passive, determining the occurrence of neutral actors such as the case of foreign immigrant organizations. Additionally, the space partner reflects a non-relational structure and tacit agreements between social actors, with the favorable-active participation of the real estate-residential tourist binomial. In conclusion, at present the city of Quito has a weak and incipient socio-space in relation to residential tourism as an emerging tourist typology, despite its antiquity as a heritage city, a cultural city and an international destination.
