Along with this reality, Portugal has had an increase in International Tourism, a fact that economically has had an increasing importance in the creation of business activities, in addition to an increasing relevance in Gross Domestic Product - GDP. With this study, we analyze the impact on the economy of municipalities located in UNESCO World Heritage Places, generated by International Tourists, both in the revenues generated by their expenses in the trips they make in these locations, and in the level of hotels and similar establishments, as well as in the analysis we make of the overnight stays they make in these locations during their visits. Our study begins in the analysis of the creation of "Total Tourist accommodations - Hotels and similar establishments" required for International Tourists to stay overnight, to understand the economic development that the municipalities where these places are located had, and to what degree, measured in the revenues they generated with the attractiveness of these International Tourists.porInternational TourismEconomyWorld Heritage PlacesPortugalbook part
