If the economy in China can impact the markets in New York, then
the worldwide tango community can impact Buenos Aires:

Tourism is changing the face of the city.
Tourism is changing what languages are spoken by portenos.
Tourism is changing the real estate market.
Tourism is changing how people work, what they do and how they live.
Tourism is changing how the citizens experience tango.
Tourism is changing the long-standing tradition of milonga codes.

>From my perspective in BsAs for eight years, the biggest change is the
number of bi-lingual or multi-lingual tango classes.
