摘要：The tools based on digital media have become indispensable in tourism promotion and in this scenario where competitiveness is a must, the Web and social networks are the new spaces for competition between destinations. This paper discusses the role of digital media, especially social networks, in the competitiveness of destinations through a succinct appreciation of the promotion strategies of Portugal. Also discussed is the change brought about by social networks in the marketing way of thinking about destinations. Bibliographical and documentary research were conduct, in order to compare the results of the destination Portugal with the actions in Social Media carried out in the period from 2011 to 2016. We sought a correspondence between strategies based on social networks and competitiveness. It was possible to affirm the importance of social networks for the marketing of destinations, however without support to confirm that they are decisive for the competitiveness or that there is an explicit relation of cause and effect.
