Argentina Reports Tourism Surge Over Long Weekend as Occupancy Hits 90%

Officials credit targeted promotions plus improved security for renewed traveler confidence.

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.
