Overview
- UADE calculates that the domestic budget equals 2.38 times the average wage and the international budget equals 6.10 times, leaving tourism purchasing power broadly unchanged year over year.
- The study measures only intercity bus transport plus lodging for an INDEC-defined family of four, excluding food, shopping and activities that can significantly raise total outlays.
- Cariló is the most expensive domestic destination at ARS 10.67 million, matching the reported cost of a two-week stay in Miami.
- On average, international trips are 2.7 times pricier than domestic ones, yet Santiago de Chile costs less than 13 of the 25 Argentine destinations surveyed.
- UADE notes shifting relative prices, with Puerto Iguazú, Puerto Madryn, San Salvador de Jujuy and Salta becoming more attractive, while San Antonio de Areco, Cariló, Pinamar and Rosario rose most in relative cost.
