The main results show that of the 175 startups mapped, 36% are related to accommodation reservations, ticket purchases and transport; 21% related to tourist information and itineraries; 20% related to tourist events and activities; 10% related to communities and 13% other services (real-time weather and traffic, currency exchange, etc.). And that 75% are concentrated between: São Paulo (37%), Minas Gerais (17%), Rio de Janeiro (9%), Rio Grande do Sul (7%) and Santa Catarina (6%).
