Resumo:Planning is thinking about the future and allows territories to be better prepared to take advantage of the opportunities and face the challenges that arise. In Portugal, tourism is one of the pillars of the economy, generating wealth and creating several job offers. In recent years, this desti‐ nation has won several international awards and distinctions due to the quality of services and tour‐ ist offer. Part of this success is due to the planning carried out by the responsible entity, Turismo de Portugal. This study consists of the analysis of strategic documents, implemented since the begin‐ ning of the 21st century, in Portugal. A qualitative methodology of document analysis was used, combined with the presentation of a case study, related to tourism planning, at a national level. The results show a growing importance of the tourism sector for the Portuguese economy. As well as the growing involvement of stakeholders in the construction of strategic plans, through public con‐ sultation. Another aspect worth mentioning is the importance of sustainability in tourism.
