Everyone and their mother knows the islands are full of those hippie European types... specially dutch and norwegian.

Anyway, as I have said in the past, South American tourism, from Brazil to Uruguay, to Chile, Bolivia and Peru is made or broken by the mighty argentine tourist. If we go down, so do they.

Interesting. After the appearance and disappearance of clearly British posters pretending being Argentinian or living in Argentina, now we have Norwegians. Soon we'll have Sri Lankan Argentina-bashers.

May 06th, 2012 - 11:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Everyone knows you're a retarded SPIC hiding somewhere in Europe and pretend Argentina is a sort of powerhouse. You're mindset is similar than that norwegian junkie or whatever you like to name it.
“from Brazil to Uruguay, to Chile, Bolivia and Peru is made or broken by the mighty argentine tourist. If we go down, so do they. ”
Spare yourself that nonsense. If Argentina goes down, what already happened (complete meltdown in 2001), the rest moves forward with life.
“But it is right that, among foreigners, Argentinians are without comparison the most important ones for the sector.”
That they are the highest number of foreign tourists in your country, does not mean they are the most important. Go to the north-east region and you shall realize that the Dutch, German, Norwegian and Swedes are invading that area: for vacation in a hotel, in their second home/apartment or to stay (and mix with mulato/mulata population)
Fido dido you poor thing. Not my fault you are a Glowlamp, you know, Europeans with their sickening acne-ridden skin. Smoke a cigarette too close to you and puff... human oil lamp!
May 08th, 2012 - 02:10 am - Link - Report abuse 0Within 12 months of 2001:
Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia were in depressiones with GDP shrinking -10% annually.
Brazil re-entered a recession and overal had 0% between 2002-2003.
Chile had it's first recession in 12 years in 2002.
Venezuela due to contagion devalued the Bolivar for the first time in Chavez's era.
Ecuador defaulted on its debt.
Peru had social unrest due to a massive drop in remittences from Argentina, which had become a big part of consumption in the 1990s with all the Peruvian immigrants.
It got the Ks into power in Argentina... :)
So you see, the rest of the world is still living with the consequences.
Europeans are insignificant to Brazilian tourism, sorry, a non-factor just like Americans (which need visas anyway, that tells you all you need to know).
