This article as the main objective to understand the role of public organizations in the tourism sector. Primary data was collected, using questionnaires and interviews with the actors that integrate the region's tourism offer, in order to build a network of organizations related to tourism in Beira Baixa, in which some subgroups are highlighted. Therefore, it can be seen that the subgroups with the central role in the network of tourism organizations in Beira Baixa are mainly public organizations.
