Abstract

Argentina´s industrial development which started at the end of 19th  century and suffered a drop in 1970 decade has left numerous real state and private properties spread in the national territory. It`s feasible to use them through Industrial Tourism as a mechanism to economically and socially reactivate abandoned spaces and in crisis, but also as a way to revitalize their identity and culture recovering a part of their history. Exploratory and descriptive methodology implied a reconnaissance of industrial properties located in Barracas neighborhood from Ciudad de Buenos Aires, Argentina, applying variables to determine the state and touristic-recreational potentiality by means of Likert scale. As a result 68 places were selected and after utilizing the variables 24 sites remained, which were organized to prepare an Industrial Tourist Circuit that could complement Buenos Aires cultural offer.
