New working paper by the Elcano Institute on the image of Spain 
Comparte
The Royal Elcano Institute has recently published a working paper prepared by the researcher William Chislett entitled Image and Reality: Contemporary Spain, that discusses different aspects of how Span is perceived around the world and how to differentiate this perception from the reality of the country.
The main conclusion is that Spain’s progress over the last 30 years, to become the world´s eighth-largest economy in nominal terms and one of the biggest direct outward investment nations, has not been matched by improved perceptions of the country from abroad. Abroad, Spain is still viewed as a land of siesta and fiesta, which is good for tourism but not for exports.
William Chislett examines the difference between what is perceived and the reality and offers possible solutions. The Leading Brands of Spain Forum is mentioned several times in the paper and co-branding is highlighted as an innovative measure that is suggested between Ambassador Brands and the Government.
The full report can be found in the file below.
