Since 2018, the May Revolution Day holiday did not give rise to a tourist weekend. Compared to that year 51.7% more people mobilized, which is partly explained because on that occasion the holiday was only 3 days long, but also because of the incidence of Pre-Trip 4 and the U-20 World Cup that takes place in our country.
Total spending in 2023, at real prices, that is, discounting the inflation effect, was 111.2% higher than in 2018. The reason for the sharp increase is due to the growth in the number of people who moved, due to the higher average daily disbursement at real prices, given that people spend more on travel, and because there was one more holiday that made a difference.
Regarding the individual cost, tourists spent, on average, $11,978 per day, 20.6% more than in 2018 compared to real prices. Meanwhile, the average stay was 3 days, somewhat less than what usually occurs on a 4-day long weekend, although it was also longer than in 2018.
The Pre-Travel program, in its fourth version, mobilized 224,000 tourists and generated $15,043 million in expenses this weekend alone.
