  • Territorial Support Institutions and Relationship Structure in Tourism Destination Management: A Brazilian Case Study Rafael Araújo Sousa Farias Valmir Emil Hoffmann Estudios de Turismo inter local support services local support institutions organizational relationships Tourism destination management This study describes the relationship between the role of tourism support institutions, their services and their relationship structure in the tourism destination management of Pirenópolis-GO, in the interior of Brazil. Tourism can be studied as a geographical territory comprising local attractions and different actors. These actors include tourism support institutions (TSIs), such as universities, agencies, trade associations and others. Using a qualitative and quantitative approach, this study involved twenty support institutions, with data collection through semi-structured interviews. The research findings indicate the centrality of some institutions which, nevertheless, do not play a leading role in the network, and that i) Centrality is not related to the provision of services but to the relationships between TSIs; ii) Less investment-intensive activities are more abundant and complementarity of services is not observed among the TSIs; and iii) Destination management is not performed by a destination management organization (DMO), which makes its management more fragmented. 2021 artículo científico 1415-6393 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=261068672010 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2610/261068672010/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2610/261068672010/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2610/261068672010/261068672010.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2610/261068672010/movil https://doi.org/10.14210/rtva.v23n3.p655-676 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2610 Turismo - Visão e Ação application/pdf Universidade do Vale do Itajaí Turismo - Visão e Ação (Brasil) Num.03 Vol.23
