Comments on: Argentina Entrance Fee To Go Into Effect http://www.discoverbuenosaires.com/argentina-entrance-fee-reciprocity Expat Life in Buenos Aires, Argentina Tue, 07 Sep 2010 12:44:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Kenzie http://www.discoverbuenosaires.com/argentina-entrance-fee-reciprocity/comment-page-1#comment-1538 Kenzie Fri, 06 Aug 2010 02:37:56 +0000 http://www.discoverbuenosaires.com/?p=1549#comment-1538 Sooo if the US rescinded its fee then Argentina (and Brazil while we're at it) would do the same? COME ON USA!! Just take away the damn fee! Is it really that necessary for entry fees to exist in the first place? p.s. Not to be too critical...but I find it hilarious that some people are responding as if their ONE trip is going to hurt the Argentine economy and somehow convince their government to change their mind. Plenty of other tourists will take your place (because they aren't paying fees or are willing to pay it based on the fact that it is, for all intents and purposes, "fair"). You can stay home or go to some other place alright, but you still are the ones who will be missing out ;) Sooo if the US rescinded its fee then Argentina (and Brazil while we're at it) would do the same?

While it won't be killing the goose that laid the golden egg I do think it will reduce US tourism and cost the Argentine economy more than the money it is intended to raise. Not a smart idea in this economy. Airfares to Argentina remain high. The increases in hotel, dining and related costs which skyrocketed a few years ago have not significantly come down. Buenos Aires is not the bargain destination it once was and this fee is another straw on the camels back.
