Information and communication technology (ICT) has been playing a fundamental role in tourism. In this context, the emergence of wearable devices enables new forms of interaction between tourists and the physical and socio-cultural space. Wearables are technological apparatus used close to the user's body, capable of offering new experiences. This technology has been implemented in the events sector and in some tourist enterprises and destinations. Nevertheless, the absence of a literature review on the subject was noted. Thus, this article aims to analyze the scientific production present in the Scopus and Web of Science databases. Additionally, articles were also searched in the Scielo database, in order to contemplate studies in the Brazilian context. In total, 55 articles were found, 24 of which met the criteria chosen for analysis. After examining these publications, it was possible to observe the temporal evolution of research on the use of wearable in tourism. Among the devices covered in the articles, the most studied were smart glasses, which can have the functionality of virtual reality or augmented reality. Finally, it is worth mentioning that despite the relevance of the theme, no articles addressing the use of wearables in the Brazilian context were found. As such, new studies on the subject are needed.
