Among tourists arriving in Argentina, 36.1% came from Brazil and 16% from Uruguay
The number of Argentine residents leaving the country in July fell 21.2% year on year, to 1.22 million people, according to the international tourism statistics report released on Tuesday by the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses. In the opposite direction, 830,200 foreign visitors entered the country, 17.9% more than a year earlier.
Of the residents who left, 697,200 were tourists and 531,100 were same-day travellers who did not spend a night abroad. Brazil accounted for 22% of outbound tourism and Paraguay for 15.2%.
Growth in inbound tourism is largely explained by same-day visitors. Of the 830,200 foreigners who entered the country, 466,200 were tourists, an increase of 9.1%, while 363,900 were same-day visitors, a category that jumped 31.5%. The latter are concentrated in border cities or on day trips to Buenos Aires and have a considerably smaller economic impact.
