00:00Argentinians will go on vacation.

00:02Well, a study from the Open University of Inter-America says that 50% of Argentinians

00:07will not go on vacation due to economic problems.

00:10I thought, the truth is that I thought there were many more.

00:12Of course, we have to see that we understand vacation, right?

00:15Leaving the country, going to the house of a relative.

00:19Well, 5 out of 10 people, at least of the surveyed, say that they are not going on vacation.

00:2733% say yes, that's for sure.

00:3016% say that, well, it could be.

00:33But 50% say no, there is no money, and then they will stay at home.

00:39Why don't they go on vacation?

00:40There we are seeing it on the plates.

00:4165% say yes, because of economic problems.

00:44Others say, I don't have vacation, because many times they have informal jobs

00:48and they have to keep working.

00:50And then there is another reason, right?

00:52Work, family issues, diseases.

00:56But here we see the question of where they are going to go.

01:00And here is the economic discrimination.

01:0361% will stay in Argentina, despite how expensive the summer will be in Argentina.

01:10And 38.3% will go abroad, which are the ones who took the account.

01:15They say, hey, guys, Rio de Janeiro is going to be cheaper than Mar del Plata.

01:19After, from time to time, a shooting appears, right?

01:21But that doesn't mean that also in Mar del Plata they can shoot you and shoot you.

01:26The truth is that it can happen everywhere and in all the big cities of Argentina.

01:32And those who believe that they are going to spend more this season are resigned.

01:3854%, 53.9% are those who say, well, cows are going to spend more.

01:44At this point in the year we have an inflation of more than 100%.

01:49And then there are the destinations, what we were telling you.

01:52Brazil, 48.9% of those who go on vacation abroad choose Brazil.

02:00Almost half choose Brazil.

02:01Some Europe, even fresh Europe to go on vacation in winter.

02:06Central America, Uruguay, obviously, is going to be reborn in Punta del Este,

02:09which is going to be at almost the same price as walking through Buenos Aires.

02:13Some will go to North America.

02:15And also 4%, especially the people who live in the Cuyo area,

02:19will try their luck in Chile.

02:21But for more details, I have on a screen Daniel Vazquez.

02:24He is precisely the spokesman for the Inter-American Open University.

02:28Good morning, how are you?

02:30Good morning, how are you?

02:31Well, of all this, what diagnosis do you see compared to other years?

02:37Well, we observe, as you had well anticipated, some numbers that are remarkable.

02:44For example, the issue of Brazil, which you mentioned a few minutes ago,

02:49went from 27% of people who were going on vacation to Brazil last year to almost 50%.

02:58That is, the number of Argentines who intend to go to Brazil is doubled.

03:01Exactly, exactly.

03:02And this is not something that has no explanation,

03:06but it is a logic, as you mentioned, on an economic issue.

03:09They see the very high prices on the Argentine coast

03:14and they see that in terms of numbers, they end up paying more to go to the neighboring country.

03:21And because it pays you, many years ago the Argentines could not go massively to Brazil.

03:27And this year, if you do the math correctly, at least one of the two tickets,

03:31you save it in what you save being there.

03:34Exactly, exactly.

03:35And there is also another issue,

03:38which is that there are some who go on vacation to Brazil by car.

03:43That also makes the cost cheaper.

03:48Yes, there are four, but I tell you that there you have to spend gas.

03:53Except if you go from the provinces of the north, from Cordoba up,

03:56many prefer Brazil because we are closer, you save 500 or 600 kilometers,

04:02but it is a trip and those routes are, I tell you, difficult.

04:06They are complicated.

04:07Exactly, but 6 out of 10 Argentines go on vacation by car.

04:11This also speaks of those who do it in Argentina,

04:16they look for closeness, that's why so many go on vacation.

04:20That is, 6 out of 10 go by car, look, that's good news.

04:23Exactly, exactly.

04:24What it does, obviously, this survey was carried out until the end of November,

04:32because we take December, January, February and March as holidays.

04:36Yes, what happens is that in these months there was still more evaluation in Brazil,

04:41that is, it still combines more, or will combine more.

04:45Sure, and something you said very well is the issue of what is taken as holidays.

04:54Because one says, go to a house with a pool, we take it as a vacation.

05:00That is, renting a house with a pool is one of the options.

05:03We took this option at the time of the pandemic,

05:06because at the time of the pandemic very few could afford to travel

05:11and it was a highly requested option,

05:15to such an extent that now there is a percentage between 4 and 7%

05:18that their holidays are to rent a house with a pool.

05:22Sure, yes, because also via home office or via, nothing,

05:28they are more friendly holidays,

05:30some have to stay connected with work, they are closer.

05:33Yes, think that there are not many times the traditional vacation of employment in white,

05:38but there are people who say, well, I take a few days,

05:41but out there I have to, if you have an entrepreneurship,

05:43you have to put together an order and then you have to be attentive,

05:46or you have to come to Buenos Aires to finish negotiating with a client.

05:49They are those part-time holidays that are used in informal jobs,

05:53regardless of the social class you have.

05:56Sure, yes, that time where the holidays were a month, a month and a half,

06:01or those who consider the summer, it is not like that.

06:05Or Bobby, Bobby who is much older than me remembers that time,

06:07but I don't remember.

06:09Sure, so, well, we also ask how many days are going to be taken on vacation,

06:16and in the vast majority we find 15 days or 10 days,

06:21that is, we are talking that 50% includes between 15 and 10 days,

06:25and almost 20% a week, which is exactly what you said,

06:30which is this short time where, well, that effort is made,

06:37because it is a very large economic effort,

06:39as they advanced, 65% is not going to go on vacation for economic reasons,

06:44then the holidays are shortened,

06:47you enjoy or try to enjoy the maximum, but in a short time.

06:51Yes, and those who have vacations, there will be many who will say,

06:54well, I don't go on vacation, I stay at home, I take the opportunity to do things.

06:59Sure.

07:02And I was asking you about the history,

07:05is there any historical change that you see with respect to previous years?

07:08Sure, well, we have been carrying out with the Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality of Hawaii,

07:13this study for many years, where there is the great breakdown, let's say,

07:19of data in the time of pandemic, as I had told you,

07:22that with a 70% in 2021 of those who are not going to vacation.

07:27Then we find a percentage, to tell you about one,

07:32in 2019, 55% had told us that they were not going on vacation.

07:39It was also a year, let's remember that 2018 was that of the important devaluation,

07:46in 2019, of course, the devaluation had been for the months of August,

07:51that is, the holidays of 2019 were clearly altered by that.

07:56Yes, it was the end of the macro.

07:58Exactly, exactly, so we find that number.

08:02Last year we also did this study and we found an almost 50%

08:08that did not go on vacation.

08:10We are talking about that it is more or less similar the amount of people

08:15that are not going on vacation, but something that you mentioned very interesting

08:22at the beginning is this, when we ask people if they think

08:26they are going to spend more than last year on vacation,

08:30if one consults it with anyone, I would logically say yes,

08:34because we are talking about inflation, that is, there should not be a doubt

08:39in that consultation, but when we get this result that 54% thinks

08:47that they are going to spend more, it catches our attention,

08:49although in that 54% that thinks they are going to spend more,

08:55there is a large percentage that is not going to spend more because it is not going to,

09:00that is, because it is reduced in expenses, not because it is going to be cheaper.

09:05It is reduced in expenses or it is reduced in days.
