Sumario:Tourism is a marked contemporary activity, growing, in the one hand, in terms of popularity as leisure option for a considerable share of the population around the world, and, in the other hand, generating academic interest as an object of study. In either situation, tourism has a remarkable bond with information, on which depends and interacts.  Considering this relation, a reflection about these areas is presented in this study, bearing in mind the use of Information Science for Tourism activity, highlighting the challenges and possibilities for mediation in tourism informational context. Hence, a bibliographic research was carried out, looking through secondary sources on the themes. The main results for the suggested relation point out to similarities between Information Science and Tourism areas, especially in terms of the applied characteristics of their studies. Moreover, it is possible to notice the dependence on information tourism presents, either for a tourist use in choosing a destination, or for an academic research, with a great amount of information available in each case. Due to this fact, the importance of mediation is sustained in terms of building tourism knowledge, as a key element for communication.
