Overview
- Tourism secretary Daniel Scioli says hotels are near full in Bariloche, Jujuy, Iguazú, Termas de Río Hondo and Mar del Plata, with occupancy reaching about 90% in many areas.
- Scioli toured Mar del Plata during the long weekend, visiting businesses and marking the 10th anniversary of Paseo Aldrey while gathering on-the-ground feedback.
- He links the upswing to policies under President Javier Milei, highlighting renewed stability, interest rates near 20% and returning access to credit that support short getaways.
- Measures cited include YPF fuel incentives and Banco Nación financing, transport coordination led by Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni and strong passenger numbers at Aerolíneas Argentinas.
- Officials also report rising foreign arrivals, particularly from Brazil and the United States, with public-order efforts presented as a key factor in destination choice.
