Since the first researches on tourism, several authors have paid attention to the action of public authorities oriented to the phenomenon. However, there is a notable lack of precision in the use of four concepts that designate different realities: tourism government, tourism policy, planning or public management. The aim of this paper is to reflect on these concepts, trying to understand how they relate to and delimit their use to specific phenomena of public action in the field of tourism. Our proposal is to group them into a relational approach or a rational approach, each with its own questions and with determined budgets, although with closely related concerns and work proposals. Improving the understanding of these concepts and approaches will allow us to develop a more solid research agenda on public action in tourism.
