Jun 14th, 2011 - 12:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0Those numbers are right but they are half the truth.
Jun 14th, 2011 - 01:01 am - Link - Report abuse 0In 2010 a landbased tourist in Malvinas spend 150-180pounds per day; vs. a cruise visitor who spend 50-70 pounds per day.

Because of that per capita tourist average spend show a significant increase; but overall turist spenditure show a significant drop, drop that Mr.Trowell whith his funny numbers is hidding.
