Estanciero for one day: An approach to a contemporary cultural practice in Argentinean domestic tourism

Abstract

During the last five years, a new trend has begun to grow in the Argentinean domestic tourist market. It centers around a phenomenon known as turismo de estancias - its equivalent in English would be ranch tourism - which since its emergence, has been gaining powerful recognition. In fact, articles in journals, programmes on T.V, sites on the net and even tourist agencies have been devoting increasing attention to it.
