The work researches the relationship between tourism activity and the knowledge economy, analyzing the cases of economies affiliated to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Mechanism (APEC), using documentary research techniques in databases, academic articles and information obtained from international organizations. Papers on knowledge society and economy, competitiveness and theoretical models on the tourism system were consulted. Data were obtained on knowledge management, tourism competitiveness, as well as statistics on the knowledge economy, investment in research and development, human capital, population in higher education and international tourism data. Among the initial results, a relationship between investment in knowledge and tourism competitiveness was identified, along with a certain resistance among tourism organizations towards the adoption of knowledge management systems.
