Executive summary
Argentina: a great place to visit
The number of international arrivals to Argentina continued to grow in 2006. The main source for arrivals were border countries, especially Chile and Brazil, but also European citizens, particularly Spanish. The devalued peso continued to make Argentina an inexpensive place to visit. The country also received glowing reviews in the international trade press and from the WTO, encouraging people to visit.
Domestic tourism recovers
Many Argentineans stopped visiting domestic destinations due to a decline in purchasing power as a result of the financial crisis. However, as the economy and wages have recovered, more Argentines travelled in 2006. They flocked to Argentine beaches and rediscovered other destinations such as Salta, Jujuy, Iguazu, etc. In response, many destinations are upgrading their infrastructure to lure high income travellers. The recovery of income for the middle class boosted domestic tourism throughout the country.
The big boom: international hotel chains
The strong growth of the whole tourism industry over recent years has encouraged many international hotel chains to invest in Argentina. Many international companies announced the opening of hotels, particularly four and five stars hotels. Announcing new investments were Starwood, Accor, Howard Johnson, Hilton, and Hyatt, with some companies contemplating the entry of additional brands to Argentina. These hotel companies are building in Iguazu, Salta, Buenos Aires, Mendoza, Ushuaia and Calafate.
Domestic air service faces obstacles
Domestic flights faced several problems in 2006. Airlines were not able to keep up with growth in demand for domestic air travel. In an effort to control inflation, the government limited the number of times and the amount of fare increases. As a result, airlines cut back on frequency and discontinued routes that were unprofitable. This led to delays and flight cancellations and limited tourism growth to regions including Ushuaia, Salta, Calafate, and Iguazu. Some regions began offering subsidies to get airlines to fly to these regions.
