The identity of Buenos Aires quarters and its place branding

Authors

Abstract

This document describes the research that has

been carried out to determine the identity of 20

of the neighbourhoods of the city of Buenos Aires

(Argentina).

Its aim was to detect potential opportunities for

tourism development purposes in different selected

neighbourhoods in order to be able to divert

the tourism flow to “cold” areas of the city,

enabling to define new strategies orientated to

promote the tourism. This is an exploratory study

with a qualitative approach where the neighbourÅLs

perspective was the priority from where to analyse

the identity of the selected neighbourhoods. The

underlying assumption was that, as neighbours

take ownership of their main areas of their neighbourhoods

they live in and they intervene them

they will be convening visitors from the rest of the

city, the country or the rest of the world.

During the course of the investigation, this assumption

turned into the hypothesis that was confirmed

afterwards.
