Abstract

The goal of this study is to identify similarities between the international literature on tourism communication and promotional actions of international destinations from the southern hemisphere. The case studies Brazil, Argentina, South Africa and Australia were analyzed through their international marketing plans, and the tool Fanpage Karma was used for analyzing publications by the countries‘ national tourism organizations on Instagram and YouTube. The results indicate similarities between the literature published in English about tourism communication and the promotional actions of the countries, in which the online experience of the consumer and interactive communication were proeminent. Technology was identified as a means to operationalize communication strategies, whose innovative character depends on the target audience of the communication.
