Kicillof calls Milei's management a 'disaster' over tourism data

The governor of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof, described President Javier Milei's management as 'a disaster' and sharply criticized the numbers on the tourist exchange. According to Kicillof, the figures published by INDEC yesterday on the trade balance indicate a 'foreign exchange lag'. 'It's not that Argentina suddenly became unattractive and Argentines want to see the world, and we are richer than everyone to travel to their countries,' he said. 'There are no economic sectors in the province of Buenos Aires that are doing well: gastronomy, commerce, tourism, and industry are in a serious crisis with some elements that are difficult to reverse,' stated the provincial governor in radio statements. According to data released by INDEC, the number of tourists arriving from abroad fell by 2.7% in November, while those leaving rose by 15.3%, resulting in a deficit of 224,000 tourists and an outflow of foreign currency. In November, 491,400 tourists entered Argentina, while 763,800 left, INDEC reported on Tuesday. 'It's a disaster they are making.'
