The most famous scenic spot in Argentina is Iguazu falls. There are 1.5 million visitors a year, usually 5,000 to 6,000 a day. During carnival and Argentina’s Independence Day, there are more than 10,000 tourists here
The biggest reason why people travel to Argentina is the maximum diversity in nature, in Argentina people could find glaciers, deserts, mountains, jungle, sea coast and volcanoes in one country. Also, pampas beef Antarctic red shrimp and red wine attract food lovers. Buenos Ellis, the third most beautiful city in the world, and Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world, also attract visitors. Beauty, food, and adventure I think is the best way to describe Argentina. Retracing Che Guevara’s route on the legendary route 40 is the dream of countless motorcyclists.
From the southernmost Tierra del Fuego in Ushuaia, across the Drake Passage, to the Antarctic continent, they say you can forget everything and enjoy the land. Messi’s hometown of Rosario, Maradona’s hometown of Buenos Aires, Argentine football has influenced generations of people around the world. This is only part of the reason for going to Argentina. I think everyone who loves to travel can find their fun there.
In 2020, There has been a huge increase in tourism to Argentina. This is because of Argentina’s economic decline. On Dec. 2, 2019, the United States resumed tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from Brazil and Argentina. Manufacturing is Argentina’s biggest industry, and higher tariffs have weakened the economy and led to a sharp rise in unemployment and poverty.
On January 7, 2020, the Argentine peso lost 29% of its value, and the Argentine government ended its fixed exchange rate policy against the dollar. By lowering the exchange rate to stimulate export trade and thereby restore the international economy. Because of the lower exchange rate, the cost of tourism to Argentina is reduced, so there is a large increase in the number of tourists.
The success of Argentina’s tourism industry depends on the support of the government and the rich tourism resources in Argentina. The government’s emphasis on tourism has made it Argentina’s third-largest industry. Through the investment of supporting facilities, the reduction of tax on tourists and the rich tourism resources, the tourism industry in Argentina has a better development.
Argentina’s tourism minister says that in the future Argentine tourism will be open to all kinds of bourgeois people. Budget airlines and easier visa policies are the next steps. If Argentina’s internal security can be better protected, I think Argentina’s tourism will have a better development.
