Description
Spain has traditionally been portrayed as a case of successful rebranding of the nation basically through becoming a modern, developed, and democratic country through the 1980s, but the question is whether that was really first and foremost aimed at foreigners or whether the Spaniards modernized their country because they wanted it that way themselves. The success story, however, does not reach all realms. Because while Spain effectively has become one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, the ‘made-in’ brand is not really a success . While different interests in Spain, particularly the government and most firms, aim at increasing the brand value of Spain and diversifying the goals of the hoards of tourists, they find themselves struggling against other interests which are not particularly concerned with this diversification of the tourism. In fact, being a successful tourist destination may actually work against being able to control the flow of branding that any foreigner is likely to receive and perceive about that particular destination.| Period | 19 Oct 2018 |
