In order to do this, we will focus on the analysis of the trademark from the point of view of tourism, travelers and nomads who decide to make a short or long stay in our lands.
Tourism is the sector that better reflects how competitive is the brand that we export abroad, so the tourist’s perception and the nomad’s opinion that decides to settle in our neighborhoods is key to understand what are the strengths, weaknesses and potential of the city in foreign eyes, understanding the reason for their stay or possible future permanent residence. Therefore, this feedback is required to obtain the closest image to a reliable representation of the reality of our city.
