This review gives a picture of the use of SM as a tool to collect and communicate information useful in planning process of tourism development. The basic stages of planning of tourism development on a regional scale have also been discussed, using the scheme proposed by Cooper et al. (2005). The second part of the article presents the concept of using SM as sources of information useful in the key stages of the planning of tourism development on a regional scale.
