摘要：Marshal Sahlins, a British anthropologist, envisaged that societies follow a principle of reciprocity that not only founds their economy but also their political order. To some extent, Sahlins considered that reciprocity took three different shapes: negative, generalized and balanced. Typically, contributions of Sahlins can be applied to many issues but there is only one of particular interests for tourism-related studies, the inception and application of visa as a formal document that determines the principle of hospitality. The outcomes of this research reveal the following interesting points: Argentina takes a rate of reciprocity of 2.13 which situate her within the balanced-type. Of a total of 38, 31 countries celebrated with Argentina a visa based on a balanced-reciprocity while only 5 (US A, Romania, Australia, Canada, and Colombia) endorsed a negative reciprocity. Let’s remind readers that this means Argentines needs of visa to enter these countries while citizens of these countries do not need visa to arrive in Argentina. Findings in this research, anyway, should be continued in other contexts.
