With cheaper prices than on the coast, Brazil conquers Argentines for the summer

Brazil It already appears as the main destination for Argentines to travel this summer. The devaluation of the real boosted travelers’ interest in crossing to the neighboring country. And it is not minor, the real accumulates a drop of 20% year-on-year and the prices are more convenient than vacationing in the coast Argentina.

But this worries local operators, who are already seeing a decline in tourist reservations in nearby destinations.

What happens is that, without taking into account the cost of a ticket, traveling for example for a week to Florianópolis, and staying in a 3 or 4 star hotel, can cost the same as a week in a hotel in Pinamar.

As for meals, the comparison is difficult, but in general terms restaurants and supermarkets have cheaper prices in the neighboring country.

Coinciding with Black Friday that is taking place this week, tour operators show strong interest in purchasing flights and packages to travel to Brazilfocusing on Rio de Janeiro, Porto Seguro and Florianópolis.

In addition to this, some companies offer the possibility of paying for international flights in installments. This entire combo is also driven by the favorable exchange rate.

This summer there will be direct flights to Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Florianópolis, Salvador, Porto Seguro, Maceió, Recife, Natal, Fortaleza, Porto Alegre and Curitiba.
