Abstract

The tourism sector represents a source of pillar knowledge for the economic development of a country, which is why tourism observatories arise from the need to condense tourism information around the new evolutionary dynamics of technology and data analysis. A tourist observatory is a center for collecting and processing data and information on tourist activity; These data are used to prepare useful reports and documents for coherent decision-making and for action planning in both the public and private sectors. Emphasizing the importance of acquiring, analyzing and applying knowledge, this study evaluates 9 Ecuadorian tourism observatories, from which basic characteristics such as language, place of origin, indicators, methodology, etc. were collected. in order to identify some similarities between them. This information will allow to optimize the identification of the tourist observatories and categorize them based on basic criteria of the similarity of Israel Lerman, in addition the documentary search will serve as an inventory of all the tourist observatories of Ecuador. The research method used was the documentary review with a quantitative approach and it was concluded that according to the similarity tree, one of the criteria that categorized the web platforms of the tourist observatories was the state of operation, revealing two well-marked groups, the first made up of observatories with active web pages and the other with observatories of inactive web pages.
