Brazilian tourists in Buenos Aires love the affordable hotels, the shopping, the restaurants & the Quilmes.
We know for a growing number of Argentines, “BA” stands for Brasil Ahora!, a fact that can be validated on the beaches of Florianopolis and the Foz do Iguazu. But the travel and tourism festival de amor works both ways according to new data from Brazil’s Hôtelier News.
Argentina’s Tourism Hotel Association (ATHA) says the number of Brazilian tourists in Argentina rose 85% in 2010 over 2009. Today, Brazilian Portuguese is a familiar chorus in the gallerias of BA, on the slopes of Bariloche and in the vineyards of Mendoza. ATHA confirms that Brazilians now account for 32.6% of all foreign visitors to Argentina. Just two years ago, Brazil trailed Europe, the U.S. and Canada with 18% of international arrivals at Ezeiza (Source: INDEC, July 2009).
As if the news could not get better, Buenos Aires is the number one most preferred destination among Brazilians, according to a poll conducted by Hoteis.com. The website summed up the Holy Trinity of BA’s appeal: “It’s easy (to get there), it’s cheap (because of the strength of the real), and there is a good selection of quality hotels. For what one would pay for a one-star hotel in New York or a two-star hotel in Rio, you can get a four-star hotel in Buenos Aires.” (Full Story in Portuguese)
