Tourism in the interior regions, though being too incipient, has shown over the past years indubitable indices of growth as regards its main components – demand, offer, employment, investment among many others. In this context, tourism is the most important opportunity promoter for companies in these regions due to the varied nature of activities that it offers and to the interdependencies that it maintains with almost all sectors of the economy; the growth trends of the demand and, above all, the embryonic stage of the regional and local offer. Based on the identification of the primary fields where these opportunities are located, this article develops some practical considerations about the concretisation of them.
