Overview
- An estimated 2.5–3 million people traveled across Argentina during the four‑day break, marking one of the year’s strongest domestic movements.
- Hotel occupancy widely exceeded 70% and often topped 80%, including roughly 75–80% in Mar del Plata and more than 80% in Greater Mendoza.
- Event‑led demand lifted regional results: Córdoba’s festivals pushed many towns near full capacity, while Salta surpassed 60% overall and over 75% in 3–5 star hotels.
- Transport scaled up to meet demand with full trains, 70+ extra Retiro–Mar del Plata bus services, and highway peaks near 2,500 vehicles per hour.
- Tourism authorities highlighted confidence after the Oct. 26 election, bank and fuel promotions, and improved credit access, as industry groups welcomed the boost but urged caution on summer forecasts.
