“…Social networks can be understood as an online medium that functions as a mass communication tool, which facilitates beneficiaries to build a profile and create a community or groups on the internet (Rodríguez-Herráez et al, 2017). Takyiakwaa (2019), defines a network as "a particular set of interrelationships between a limited set of individuals; these network interrelationships can be used for the interpretation of the social behavior of those individuals. In this sense, social networks constitute a variable number of nodes, which may be subjects or organizations, linked to other nodes, defined as information exchange agents (Ruiz-Bolivar, 2016).…”

The research seeks to establish the use of social networks in companies in the tourism sector, especially to identify the most popular networks, their type and the role they play in these companies. The problem was approached through a systematic literature review, focused on the use of social networks in tourism companies. The Scopus database was consulted, initially finding 179 articles, using the keywords: social media, tourism and hotels. After applying the exclusion criteria, 15 articles were identified. The findings indicate that the Tripadvisor network, specialized in the tourism sector, is the most used, followed by Facebook and Twitter, which are generalist networks. It is concluded that social networks have transformed the way in which users in the hotel sector interact, research and make decisions about their accommodations, consulting the opinions and previous experiences of other users.
