Abstract
The tourism sector is an economic activity with a remarkable weight in the world and national economy. Currently, the Covid-19 pandemic has led to the need to implement techniques and procedures that contribute to knowing the expectations of tourists and improving the experience of the tourist destination in order to increase their level of satisfaction. In this sense, the development of neuromarketing techniques applied to the tourism sector can contribute to improving the understanding of the emotional and cognitive processes of a tourist and that lead to a certain behavior related to the choice of a destination, level of satisfaction with a tourist experience, among others. This article conducts a review of the academic literature in order to identify the contribution of neuromarketing to the field of tourism. For this, a bibliographic search has been carried out in the main scientific databases (Wos, Scopus or Dialnet, among others). The results show the current state of knowledge in this area and the future lines of research to be developed. It should be noted that the link between neuromarketing and tourism is still incipient. It is a new field of research with little attention among researchers. Consequently, the development of broader empirical investigations that contribute to the implementation of neuromarketing techniques among tourism managers and managers is recommended.
