In 2009, Argentina achieved that this cultural event enters the representative list of intangible cultural heritage of UNESCO. Since then, policy actions are increased to contribute to the process of heritage construction of Tango, which have contributed to the “festivalization” of the city of Buenos Aires as a strategy for the development of tourist activity. In this context, the aim of this work is to analyze the cultural actions and policies linked to tango as a strategy of heritage construction. As an artistic expression that combines dance, music, poetry and singing, and is part of the national cultural identity, the purpose is to understand its economic and touristic impact in the city. The analysis show that the consolidation of cultural actions and policies enabled the affirmation of tango as a support for the collective memory and identity of a people and as a phenomenon that generates wealth through tourism and the cultural industry.  a2386-7515
