The summer season is in full swing in Argentina, with very encouraging numbers for all destinations.
Cruise ships that pass through Argentina
are also
seeing a post-pandemic recovery process that must be highlighted: beyond the Argentines who board the ships to make itineraries along the beaches of Uruguay and Brazil or through Patagonia, many foreigners arrive in these seas .
According to projections from the Observatory of the Tourism Entity of the City of Buenos Aires, the cruise tourism season -from October to April- will involve the arrival of
127 cruise ships, almost 350,000 passengers
who will have an estimated daily expenditure of US$ 90.6 per tourist.
This is growth when compared to the 2018-2019 season, in which 8% fewer ships called.
All aboard.
