Resumo: In many parts of the world, travelers have a special interest in the welcome and quality of accommodation establishments in the countries visited, becoming one of the main pillars of tourism promotion (tourism marketing). New tourists actively participate in the marketing mechanism by disseminating their opinions via virtual forums or travel guides (Michelin Guide, El Mochilero, Lonely Planet, TripAdvisor), which allow internet users to report and give testimony of their experiences and discuss this.
