successful
season , as expected.

"We are with approximately
80% occupancy
, taking into account that Bariloche has 31,000 beds, there are many people who chose us," explained the official. "All activities are in high demand, beyond the beaches, rivers, lakes, the trails for trekking, the truth is that we are happy".
Although it is a great season, the numbers are not the same as in 2022. "It was not last summer that it was
an absolute historical record
, but we understand that it is an election year, and also that many people traveled abroad since it was normalized the situation a bit".
According to figures from the Argentine Confederation of Medium Enterprises, Bariloche received
150,000 tourists
