Tourism organizations, in recent years, have started to invest more and more in knowledge management, but it is still possible to perceive the reluctance of some organizations to employ innovation in the organizational management of companies. Tourism in Brazil is a relatively important economic activity, with great potential for future growth. In 2018, the contribution of tourism to the Brazilian GDP was US $ 152.5 billion (8.1%), with tourism GDP growing by 3.1%, one of the highest in South America, representing double than the Brazilian economy grew. The good news of the increase in international spending is attributed to the newly created electronic visa offered to the United States, Canada, Australia and Japan. This work aimed to analyze, through a technological exploration, the deposit of patents in the tourism sector. The exploratory study was carried out based on patent applications in the tourism sector filed with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) platform, until November 2019. The main results of the study show that China, the United States and Spain were the countries that more filed a patent, and that Brazil still has a lot to grow with regard to new technologies for the tourism sector, needing to expand the discourse and strategies for smarter tourism and become more competitive in the segment.
