A question that is frequently repeated is: Do Argentines travel abroad? The answer is pretty simple: There are 4/5 million compatriots among millionaires and people with some rest or savings in dollars. This segment is the one that is most active at the moment. Some travel to Europe (especially Spain) to visit relatives who have chosen to bet on a better future.
Among the most popular destinations are Türkiye. Machu Picchu, Greek Islands and Italy where there is always a small town that they want to visit because grandparents were born and lived there. There are the groups that get together on a Sunday at a barbecue and someone says: what if we go to Disney with the kids at the end of the year? There are also the “lonely” women and men who embark on solo trips. Some for Europe and others for the USA. Also India for those looking for “spirituality” although I am told that the guides get angry with many Argentinians because they are more enthusiastic about shopping than spiritual things.
The Caribbean, left behind. Disney, impossible
It is striking that there is little movement at Caribbean. The Argentine is looking for the All Inclusive. Cuba it’s cheap. There are usually shortages of some products due to historical blockades, but there are convenient packages. disney It is very stopped, the entrance tickets to the parks are very expensive. The fashion is to stop at orlando in equipped apartments.
The traditional middle class hit from all sides will have to wait. The priorities are different: schools, prepaid bills, insurance, expenses, etc. There is little scope for traveling abroad.
How is the airline market?
If we think about Argentina, some hotels have dollarized rates, which is crazy. Argentinian airlines has high rates. For less than half you can get a low cost ticket (Jetsmart and Flaybondi) but you never know if they will leave or return. In this sense, Jetsmart is better than the yellow flag airline.
One fact: there are very good rates abroad and very low prices. GOAL with alliance Aviancabut GOL declared itself in a call. American Airlines, Iberia, Air Europa, KLM, etc… at the moment they are the safest, after all sometimes saving can be expensive, as the saying goes.
In these times of freedom it would be very good if LATAM cabotage returned to operate in Argentina. It promotes fare competition, there would be no route exclusivity and passengers would have “the freedom to choose.”
