Abstract (EN): Nowadays, tourism entities seek to promote their regions in a more aggressive strategy, offering a large diversity of services delivering personalized solutions in order to comply with a broader range of tourists. Furthermore, mobile computing offers new capabilities that facilitate the development of new services based on the location of the user and the users' profile. Thus, mobile computing systems are undergoing changes to support tasks related to advertising and marketing of goods and services. This paper presents a generic solution for the delivery of new services, advertising and marketing for the tourism sector to take advantage of the spatial context of the user - Mobile Advertising. The practical implementation of the suggested methodology is focused on the Tourism Region of Douro, in Portugal.
