In the first months of the year until May, demand for trips abroad was low. But starting in mid-June this began to change and grew. The reasons for the change
The 2024 edition of the Latin American International Tourism Fair reinforced a trend that had been seen for some time: Argentines are once again looking abroad when thinking about travel.

The FIT numbers were overwhelming: with more than 131,000 visitors, 4.8 percent more than in 2023. 53 countries participated, all Argentine provinces, 1,870 exhibitors and there were more than 6,000 business rounds, 39 percent more than last year.


The reasons for the change
It doesn’t hurt to reinforce a concept: in the complex economic scenario that Argentina is going through, not everyone can think about traveling abroad. And in this context there are some factors to take into account:
- The dollar: at the moment it is found ironed at $1,200.
- The bleaching: those who dared to declare the dollars saved in the “mattress” find themselves with “free use” cash to buy a home, change the car, or travel among other projects.
- The rates: There are no significant changes, but today it is possible to find offers and promotions especially on flights where there is a real price battle. Now there are not only fares with or without bags to be checked, but they also charge separately whether or not the passenger brings a stroller on board. And this cost (of a cart or suitcase) is not a minor fact, In many cases the value of a ticket increases up to 60%. Which costs 1000 dollars it can suddenly cost 1400/1600 dollars when you add all the luggage. To that we must add the seat which costs between 30 and 200 dollars depending on location.
Despite all these variations, interest in traveling abroad does not stop growing. Historically, the months of September, October and November are the months with the most inquiries and reservations, but this year it started in June.
Where Argentines travel

- Interest returned disneyvery behind in recent times due to the high value of its tickets. Today it costs $800 for 5 days with free entry to the parks.
- Those who bet on Caribbean are thinking about Curacao an island near Aruba and in front of Venezuela which very pleasantly satisfied the tourists who already visited it, plus the classics of Punta Cana, Riviera Maya and Cancun.
- One of the most requested destinations is Europe. Argentinians are returning for the second or third time, and so are those who are visiting for the first time. Spain It is the destination par excellence. Italy with the Amalafi Coast As a priority it is also in high demand, the same as Rome.
- 20-day tours to various cities visiting Germany, Rotterdam and the Netherlands They are highly requested by the most traveled.
- Those who prefer fewer flight hours cross Brazilto the traditional Buzios and Rio de Janeiro or the All Inclusive option of a very good category in Imabassai or Praia do Forte.
- A curiosity is that Argentines are encouraging themselves to schedule “long-term” trips, something unthinkable in the past. Only Americans know where they are going to go in 2 or 3 years. There are those who are now betting on May and June 2025, a distance in the booking time that above all favors the cost of air tickets, remember greater demand for a flight with a more expensive ticket.
How much does it cost?
The expense depends on many aspects. If the flight is direct or with stops, which hotel to go to, meals, activities, etc…
- If there are no great demands for food, An All Inclusive from Cuba the entire package costs about 2,200 dollars.
- If food is important then Punta Cana or Cancún, between 2,800 and 3,000 dollars.
- a trip to Europe for several cities, between 4 and 7 thousand dollars, the same as Disney plus Miami, or New York with another city.
- Brazil It has very similar rates to Caribbean when thinking about an All Inclusive, but also in this destination it is possible to think about something more “gasoline”, for example, renting an apartment.
- There are also the cruises When it comes to numbering, since Caribbean hotels are All Inclusive, expenses on meals that are already included are avoided.
