The emergence of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has allowed societies to simplify their processes, with which, work meetings and commitments can be established through videoconferences or teleconferences, without having to physically move from one place to another. In the case of the teaching-learning process, the great help provided by ICT in higher education is evident, since not only they allow a better use of time, but they also constitute a fundamental tool for the search of information. For this, it is necessary to begin with a definition of Information and Communication Technologies, to know their numerous resources to relate time-space and the use that students give to them through higher education. This work is about the beginnings of the University and the so-called information society, the famous university campuses and digital literacy. An important point is given in the support that ICTs offer in the field of teaching-learning as well as the impact they have in the field of higher education, so, it is conceived as a challenge, to incorporate ICT in tourism research.

Keywords : Information and Communication Technologies (ICT); higher education; tourism research.
