Abstract

This research considers the relevance of collaboration in tourism in its various instances (environmental, social, economic, and commercial), supported by digital platforms and the use of available voluntary content. In this sense, we evoke the theory of co-creation of value (Phahalad; Rasmaswamy, 2004; Vargo; Lusch, 2008), to highlight that collaboration happens synergistically through the valorization, by managers, of the information produced by consumers about their services and/or products. Thus, we relate the production of voluntary information (VGIs) as devices for co-creation of value in publications about tourism on the Instagram profile of the Municipality of São Cristóvão/SE. To this end, it seeks to point out how the elaboration of VGIs by tourists and residents on the Instagram of the Municipality of São Cristóvão/SE, as a mechanism of co-creation of value, can contribute to the processes of planning and management of local tourism. In this way, it was decided to adopt the exploratory and descriptive research, with qualitative approach, bibliographic survey, and analysis of the profile of the Instagram of the Municipality of São Cristóvão. It was found that the lack of information about the destination, as pointed out by tourists and residents of São Cristóvão, is a latent problem that lasts for a long time, suggesting the valorization of the evaluations/comments as a source of relevant data to assist the processes of planning and management of tourism.
