CAME data highlight two-night getaways with higher daily outlays, lifting pre-summer tourism despite patchy weather.

Overview

  • The turnout was up 43.5% versus the comparable 2023 weekend, as there was no holiday in 2024.
  • Average stay fell to two nights, while real per-day spending rose 8.8% to ARS 90,495 per tourist.
  • Movement concentrated in Buenos Aires City, Mar del Plata, Córdoba, Puerto Iguazú, Mendoza and Ushuaia, with northern religious cities also drawing strong flows.
  • Across 2025’s eight long weekends, about 13.34 million travelers generated an estimated ARS 2.97 trillion (about US$2.03 billion).
  • Shopping trips from Neuquén to Chile declined roughly 15% in recent months after national measures narrowed price gaps, according to La Araucanía’s tourism body.
