Overview
- The Confederación Argentina de la Mediana Empresa (CAME) estimated the October 10–12 long weekend moved about 1.49 million tourists and generated a direct economic impact of $313,610 million.
- CAME found average stays fell from two days in 2025 to 1.8 days in 2026 while daily spending rose to about $116,900, a shift that increased per‑day receipts but left total spending down in real terms.
- Mendoza’s SITUR report recorded 71,907 visitors, average provincial occupancy near 74.7% and an estimated economic impact of $22,183.09 million with peak occupancy in the Zona Este and City of Mendoza.
- Santa Fe’s observatory reported more than 102,000 visitors, provincial occupancy above 78% and an estimated impact of $21,759 million driven by over 70 cultural, sporting and gastronomic events.
- Flows and spending patterns were shaped by weather disruptions and the preventive closure of the Paso Internacional Cristo Redentor, while air links — including direct São Paulo flights — and festival agendas kept demand flowing.
