The present paper results of an ongoing research project were it is expected to develop an information
system to monitoring a cultural-touristic route. The route to monitor is the Romanesque Route of Tâmega. This
Route is composed of 58 monuments located in the region of Tâmega in the North of Portugal. Due to the
particular location of this region, that is between coastal zone, but not yet in the inland, it has a weak political
influence, and it is reflected in the low levels of development at several levels, observed. The Romanesque
Route was implemented in a part of this region in 1998, and enlarged to the all-region in 2010. In order to
evaluate the socio-ecomonic impact of this route in the region a research project is being developed. The main
goal of this paper is to open a discussion on the elements that must be taken into consideration to evaluate the
economic and social impact of a touristic cultural route within a region and this one in particular.
