Competitiveness among tourist destinations has increasingly required its managers to stay in the market. Thus, the management of the destination should be made up of people from both the public and private sectors, looking for a better management of the resources of the destination. The objective of this article is to recognize the tourism management structure of two internationally renowned destinations: the Algarve, situated in the south of Portugal, one of the main tourist destinations in this European country; and Foz do Iguacu, Brazil, located on the triple border with Argentina and Paraguay, the third most visited tourist destination in the country. This is an exploratory descriptive research, with a qualitative approach, involving bibliographical and documentary research. The results indicate that in both destinations, public and private organizations are present in the management process, even though they have different structures.
