Thanks for setting up this thread, Perry. Following on from the Food Prices thread where you first brought up international tourism and the idea that with more international tourism, it would be beneficial to the Argentine economy in this crisis yet you expressed the belief that international...

I think tourism could warrant a whole new thread. In answer to this yes and no... - Latin America in 2024 is a "hot spot" for inbound tourism, so it is not just Argentina is seeing these trends - Most inbound arrivals are from neighbouring countries that tend to book regional travel fairly last...

Wow, a social circle of, what, 5-10 persons and business owners and their anecdotes is your sample size and entire reality? I am trying to show the simple reality of what it happening in Argentina as am getting fed up with perverse exaggerations of how terrible it apparently is for everyone all...

"After the collapse of shopping tourism to Argentina, Uruguayans already have Chile as their new “star destination” So total international tourist arrivals each month this year are higher than the same months last year and you are trying to say that tourism (like, all tourism) has plummeted...

Do you understand the concept of seasonality? If so, would you not consider it relevant to tourism? E.g. February always has less tourism than January, and March less than February in Argentina. Here is a nice graph to help illustrate this complex concept. That is why year on year is used...

I was there last week and actually find it to have slightly better infrastructure than on the Brazilian side. There is even a train to take you through the park at no additional cost (e.g. included in the entry fee for non-resident foreigners runs about the same as a ticket for the Tren del Fin...

So Perry, what does success look like for you? As for foreign tourism, so far in 2024 the industry is on track to employing 1.500.000 people and Argentina is receiving record numbers of foreign tourists in March for example foreign receptive tourism is up 26.7% vs last year while Argentines...

Good question. I for one am still waiting for such people to articulate what success for Argentina would look like independent of who is at the helm. Another very abstract quote of a post of mine with nothing to do with the question being raised, seems I also missed this conversation linking...

I never said a remote job was not the best option, so am confused as to why you seem to be having a conversation with yourself but quoting me. Perhpas your sarcasm is lost on me as my sarcasm is clearly lost on you. (Three options put forward, not just the one you chose to quote out of context...

No. Why would I? And why would you make a point about 300%ish interannual inflation (e.g. April 23 to April 24...) versus a point about paritarias since January 24? Glad to see you have some common sense. (And of course if that fixed - or earned - income in dollars or euros is at any moment not...

If the point of this thread is really about domestic food prices versus local incomes, then why is no one talking about food costs as a simple % of average / minimum wages today vs. those last year? Instead we continue talking prices in Japan, California, Korea and Australia... all in USD or...

What, income tax? He didn’t reinstate it in January, it never even went away. The issue, still being debated as the headline clearly states, is the threshold at which progressive income tax rates (yes, just like in your country Australia) take effect, eg tax free allowance going from 15x the...

Interesting perspectives. One point to add. To some extent they were. Last year to import supplies or services essential for a business here before you had to wait from central bank approval which was at times up to 6 months but rarely less than 60 days for your bank to be allowed to pay yout...

Personally I couldn’t care less about Karina’s logo, unless a huge amount of public funds were pissed away in its development, but I guess it could be entertaining to watch the “outraged” members on this forum using it “prove their point” (a simple burning personal preference for tiramisu over...

I think both ElHombreSinNombre and Macanudo sum things up well. Until now very few laws and thus power structures have actually changed. While fiscal policy changes have resulted in price changes that itself doesn’t mean much for people whose wages have also changed, or for people who were just...

It is exactly the poor Argentinos who voted for him and five months into his term are still going crazy for him, lining up for hours to get a ticket to see his cosplay show, Milei the Musical, despite the oft-cited poverty and inflation rates and who are also driving the second highest approval...

Tickets sold out in 30 minutes… Have no doubt that people like a show.

You should be able to do it with just a CDI and passport, especially if you justify your need for the account as purchase and maintenance of local real estate. You would really need to do it in person. Try Santander. It helps if you have a lawyer/ broker/ accountant who can provide an...
