Changes have definitely took place with the rise of tourism is Argentina. And we shall take a look at these changes specifically into economically and socio culturally.
Economically wise, Argentina definitely benefitted from the rise of tourism. With attractions like the Mar del Plata, Iguana falls and La Rioja, Argentina enjoyed revenue generated from the tourists’ arrivals at these landmarks.
Development of tourism is a very large scale project, which requires a lot of manpower, be it the manufacturers, architect or the service staff. This helped to reduce the unemployment in Argentina.
The negative impact of tourism economically speaking will be that huge amount of money now has to be pumped into maintenance of the tourism sites regularly.
In terms of socio cultural impacts, there are also both negative and positive.
Positively speaking, tourism offers the world a chance to improve their understanding of one another. Mutual sympathy can thus be forged, reducing any form of prejudice formed before. The interaction between the Argentines and foreigners will also develop a form of cultural exchange.
Negatively speaking, there is a serious chance of cultural dilution of the Argentines. When foreigners interact with the Argentines citizens, the locals have as much chance of learning the opposition’s culture as the foreigners. The newly learned culture will slowly be instilled into the locals’ heads and dilute the original culture that they have.
