This paper presents the tool SELETOR which has been developed for services selection. This paper proposes also a new web management system that allows for considering quality and context-awareness while discovering and selecting web service. The main idea of the proposed web service oriented architecture consists in the ontology Context-aware Quality Semantic Web Service called (CxQWS). At the first step, services are defined as a set of semantic metadata, reflecting service requirements and QoS parameters. At the second step, services with a semantic contextual metadata are elaborated. Such a procedure ensures that the selection decisions should be based on the semantic quality representation of the created services. The tourism services in a mobile environment have a critical role in creating tourist satisfaction. They are neither a uniform group, nor able to give consistently high service quality. Indeed they have significantly different platforms and a variety of heterogeneous service providers which make the management of service qualities complex. This complexity is clearly noticeable when a given service is provided by two or more providers, within the same area of the mobile clients; a decision should be made to select the most appropriate service based on contextual description with the best QoS.
