| Summary: | Following logics of privatization and specialization, the new consumption habits of certain socioeconomic groups are collaborating in the creation of themed commercial and service poles, with an aesthetic and sophistication increasingly distant to the neighborhoods that contain them, aimed at a different audience from that of its original residents. More and more frequently, these dynamics are institutionalized to diversify the tourist offer of cities. In this sense, the paper proposes to analyze how the “neighborhood” aesthetics of the traditional sectors of Palermo Viejo in Buenos Aires and Usaquén in Bogotá are capitalized to incorporate them as new tourist products in their cities, their typological specificities and globalizing tendencies, the emergence of temporary accommodation offer (Airbnb) and the role of the public sector in its dissemination. |
