In a socioeconomic context like the current one, going through the fire of an inflation that seems to have no brakes (on Thursday the figure of 12.7% was known) with an annual accumulated close to 140%, and the upcoming presidential elections, the panorama for the next summer season 2023/24 aims to generate more uncertainty What certainties between the supply and demand of properties intended for tourism. Nobody wants to risk, much less lose.
Although this October weekend generally served as a parameter for both owners and tourists to know “where they stand” when setting rental prices for the summer, this year the uncertainty that inflation and presidential elections play stretch the definition in that sense.
Many believe that only in November or perhaps December will there be a more accurate picture regarding the rental values that will be handled next summer.
Record weekend
In any case and beyond these assumptions, the national authorities foresee a record weekend in terms of the movement of people through different parts of the country and the expenses they may generate.
According to estimates from the Ministry of Tourism of the Nation, believe that 1.5 million travelers will travel throughout the country with expenses exceeding 100 billion pesos in the regional economies. Figures, in short, that represent between 15 and 20% compared to last year.
“The data of the reservations that we drive anticipate a record long weekend. The Pre-Trip – in this case the fifth edition – once once more meets the objective that this year our tourist destinations do not have a low season and this is reflected in the employment figures where hospitality and gastronomy is the sector that leads the growth of this year,” said Matias Lammens, head of the ministerial portfolio.
Los holidays Yesterday’s long weekend and Monday’s Cultural Diversity Day concentrated high levels of hotel reservations from both domestic tourism and tourism from neighboring countries that also took advantage of non-working dates in their places of origin.
In this sense, the destinations of the Atlantic Coast of Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Salta and Patagonia topped the ranking of hotel reservations, to the point that towns such as Salta, Mar de las Pampas, Sierra de la Ventana, Villa General Belgrano, Esteros del Iberá, San Rafael, Merlo, Bariloche , Puerto Madryn and Esquel had almost total occupation.
With an eye on the summer
As usually happens, sea and beach destinations are the most required by travelers for the summer months. In the specific case of Mar del Plata, for example, the College of Auctioneers and Public Brokers of that spa city suggests that owners apply an increase in values of around 150% to their homes compared to last summer.
“Although we are not price makers, it seems prudent to suggest an increase that is in line with inflation levels. “We do ask that prices be published in pesos,” he assured PROFILE, Guillermo Rossi, head of the entity. “It is very difficult to talk regarding prices in this context and at this time, but we wanted to give people a little certainty when it comes to renting,” he added.
“Expectations are good, beyond the context and electoral uncertainty”
As this newspaper was able to find out, the majority of the resorts on the Atlantic coast, for example, are waiting until following the elections, as are several of the owners who are waiting to “see what happens the day following October 22.” .
“Expectations are hello good, beyond the context and electoral uncertainty. We believe that we will only have definitive rates by November,” said Walter Zenobi, from the Rada Beach parador.
In relation to the rental values that they would manage during the summer, Rossi pointed out that “a one-room apartment for 2 or 3 people per week might cost from $100,000; a two-room apartment for 3 or 4 people, per week the reference price “It would start at $150,000. While a three-room apartment would start at $220,000, and while the suggestion for a three-room chalet for 5 or 6 people would have an estimated cost of $300,000 per week.”
“They are indicative values, which of course can vary according to the area, the services and amenities that each rental property presents,” Rossi finally explained.
