The long weekend of November 20 delivered compelling numbers for Argentine tourism. According to the survey by the Argentine Confederation of Medium-Sized Enterprises (CAME), 1,694,000 tourists traveled throughout the country, representing a 21% increase compared to the same holiday in 2023. Total spending reached $355.789 billion, a real jump of 34% compared to the $196.233 billion spent last year.
The average stay was 2.3 nights, 15% higher than the previous year, partly because the 2023 holiday lasted only three days. The destinations with the highest influx were Mar del Plata, Córdoba, Puerto Iguazú, Mendoza, and the thermal centers of Entre Ríos, which showed high occupancy levels. Bariloche, Salta, Tucumán, and the Buenos Aires mountain corridors such as Tandil also stood out.
In Patagonia, towns such as El Calafate, El Chaltén, Puerto Madryn, and Los Antiguos recorded strong activity. In Misiones, the Black Consciousness Day holiday in Brazil caused an exceptional flow of Brazilian visitors, raising occupancy in Puerto Iguazú to nearly 90%.
