Development:
Argentina's tango industry has grown rapidly and achieved worldwide success. The tango industry, with its musicians, dancers, music tapes and books, is worth $2 billion a year worldwide, from which Argentina receives a return of $180 million, which will climb to $400 million in five years. According to industry insiders, $180 million is equivalent to the combined annual export earnings of Argentine wine and other spirits.
A return of $400 million after five years would be half of the annual export earnings of meat ($829 million) and significantly more than the combined earnings of the fishing industry ($297 million) and the footwear industry ($36 million).
