Social Figurations and Tourist Displacement in Argentina

In this paper, we analyze, on the one hand, the figurations of transnational tourist travel and, on the other, tourism concepts involving these configurations. We will do it based on two initial questions:a) the exploration of the profiles of movements affecting tourism in Argentina; and b) the characterization of tourists and tourism in this country during the period 2009–2014. To achieve our goals, we will use multidimensional statistics and qualitative analysis of categories. We try to make an approach to the problem by showing that the displacements of people across state territories are transformations toward explicit new forms of social integration, which are also the stimulators and centerpieces of the tourism industry.
