The president of the Municipal Tourism and Culture Entity of Mar del Plata (Emturyc), Bernardo Martín placed the Kirchnerist mayor of Villa Gesell, Gustavo Barrera in a clash on the social network X.
It all started when Barrera gave an ultra-pessimistic diagnosis about the tourism situation in the Atlantic region.
In an interview published by the newspaper La Capital de Mar del Plata, Barrera lamented that “if this continues, the next season will be chaotic.” He then argued that “we no longer compete with national destinations but with those abroad." "The dollar price leaves us out of competition.”
Additionally, the mayor stated that “we come from a season ranging from regular to good in occupancy and from bad to very bad in consumption.” He also pointed out that in the last long weekends there was “a decrease in the occupancy percentage and an even greater drop in consumption.”
