Resumo: The Technologies of the Geographic Information (TGI) is a tool with great potential in spatial analysis. Faced with multiple and complex territorial issues, their ability allows a response, provided their use is implemented properly. Thus, the geography of tourism, from its territorial standpoint, can make use of this technology in the analysis of the territorial dimension of tourism. The georeferenced information (geo-information) allows to incorporate a new variable in the analysis of tourism. The spatial dimension incorporates values that enrich the analysis and allow complete the results over the territorial dynamism of tourism as well as their territorial impacts. This paper makes an approach to the application of TGI in the territorial analysis of tourism, using the example of the context of the third tourist boom in Canary island (Spain), to define and explain their effects on the territory.
