| Summary: | This article aims to present the results of a study that investigated the use of information
systems and technologies (IST) in tourism in rural space (TRS) in the Algarve region. The
results were obtained through an electronic questionnaire given to the owners and/or
managers of fifty one units TRS, in which we tried to identify the impact of IST in the
following variables: decision making, satisfaction of managers in the use of IST, quality of
room reservations service, and financial results. The study concluded that, in general, the
use of IST are an important component in the TRS units of management and have positive
impacts in identifying problems and minimizing their time resolution, confidence in the
system and language used in the computer, the quality of rooms reservations, and
financial results through innovation in technology, and network existence in the
