The governor of the province of Buenos Aires,
Axel Kicillof
, held the Government responsible this Wednesday for the
decline in tourism
that he maintained was evident since the beginning of the summer season on the Atlantic Coast of Buenos Aires.
"It is not a complaint, much less a chicanery. Nor a philosophical, theoretical or partisan appreciation. It is reality.
(Javier) Milei arrived and punctured the economy of the province of Buenos Aires
," he attacked during a press conference from Villa Gesell.
The Kirchnerist leader thus sought, once again,
to turn the tables on the President
, with little self-criticism regarding the management of the economy left by his presidential candidate Sergio Massa.
Accompanied by mayors
Juan de Jesús
, from the Costa Party, and
Gustavo Barrera
, from Villa Gesell, he stated that "we are experiencing
a very atypical, dual season
, with occupancy in the most expensive accommodations, but a drop in the hotels of one or two stars."
According to him, this "
very heterogeneous season
" is a consequence of "the results of the economic policies applied at the national level", which generate "an increasing difference between some sectors that can spend the summer and others that are left behind."
He made no mention of the inflationary peak left by the management of Massa and Alberto Fernández.
Meanwhile, he did affirm that in recent years "a boost and permanent improvement" had been achieved in the tourism sector on the Coast, "extending stays and adding new destinations."
According to an official statement, around
6.5 million tourists stayed during January in different parts of the Province
.
Among the busiest places are General Pueyrredón, La Costa, Villa Gesell and Pinamar, with a particular
drop in the number of days of stay and average spending per person
.
