PAUL I AGUSTI, Daniel. Territorial distribution of tourist attractions. Comparing projected and perceived image in Uruguay. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.58, pp.735-762. ISSN 2448-6183.  https://doi.org/10.22136/est20181239.

Existing similarities and differences in the spatial distribution of tourist sights are identified. Three different media are used: institutional tourism materials, travel guides, and user-generated contents (images shared on Instagram). The analysis is based on data from Uruguay. The results indicate that there is only a very slight overlap between the locations captured in user-generated images and those of tourist sights promoted in institutional materials and travel guides. This situation suggests tourist space is more extensive and diversified than the traditionally assumed by studies conducted on the basis of a single source.
