Abstract
This unprecedented research project attempts to prove empirically that tourism is a factor for local productive restructuring. Research was based on the analysis of a case study of the city of Ushuaia, Argentina. Restructuring could become a new strategy to encourage the development of areas with tourist potential in order to improve quality of life among the community. In order to demonstrate the above, a comparative analysis of traditional development factors and tourism was employed. The analysis was based on a study of the following variables: income generation, business growth and increase in employment. Furthermore, the existence or implementation of any kind of tourist development strategy was analyzed and whether or not this brought about an increase in tourist supply and demand as well as the creation of new jobs.
