Gastón Burlon, Secretary of Tourism of Bariloche spoke with Ambit about how the season is going: “January we closed with 85% occupancy, there are a lot of people who visited us. We estimate that there were some 150,000 people, almost half of the estimated number of Bariloche inhabitants. For February we estimate what We are with many passengers from Chile”.
“We made a great promotional action plan abroad. We receive many Israelis, Mexicans, Spanish, Italians, Germans, French, Brazilians, Paraguayans, Uruguayans”, he detailed. On the other hand, he referred to how consumption is moving: “it must be taken into account that people no longer pay what is not worth it. Those alive who want to save the season by raising prices, do not have movement. People do not he spends what he does not consider things to be worth”.
On the other hand, Burlon assured that last year it was much better for Bariloche with 95% occupancy. This change in the number of tourists, according to his perspective, was due to the fact that last year “there was not so much confidence to travel abroad and Now many have gone to Uruguay and Brazil”.
