Resum
The new configuration of the Euro-region Galicia–Northern Portugal is in need of a debate on the problems regarding its development. Important questions arise, such as the organization and planning of common tourism destinations. In this article, important and valuable scientific literature on this topic and data from a study carried out by the authors for the Xunta de Galicia in 2001 are used to implement some instruments for their application to the Minho Region. The model presented here is a systemic elaboration of the design of the region as a common tourism destination in which a formal structure of its elements is provided, which will prove useful to managers and planners in their analysis of situations and in decision-making processes.
