The aim of this paper is to provide a proposal study based on modality in utterances and its relationship between them and evidentiality, as a linguistic resource, because there are some markers (evidentials) in touristic texts, which coding the knowledge resource and the point of view. This study has a corpus based in 50 tourist texts published in El País website (between 2013-2014). We analyze the author's linguistic resources to show the way he gets the information appeared in the utterance, in order to persuade and inform the reader, through epistemic modality. Furthermore, it is a specialized language, Spanish for tourism, which has a lower degree of specialization than other specialized languages, making further interesting the study of evidentials as a modality linguistic resource.
