Creative tourism is positioning itself as a new offer capable of satisfying the needs and expectations of consumers due to its high level of co-creation of the experience. In this context, street and graffiti are recognized as configuring elements of various offers. This study aimed identify the main potentialities existing in the city of Holguín for the development of street art (graffiti)c in order to contribute creativity to the current cultural tourism offer. For this, a search was carried out in the Sciendirect database, which allowed the identification of the main thematic lines through the use of the VOSviewer software and the content analysis of the main articles, as well as other sources that addressed the subject. The content analysis allowed knowing several successful experiences in the international framework and identifying key success factors for the development of this product for tourism purposes. The potentialities of the Holguín destination for its development were identified with practical implications for the destination's tourist managers, which include the presence of the Undergraff project as the main strength, the need to rehabilitate various spaces in the city and the presence of international cultural events to position it new offer.
