This Monday, August 26, Travel Sale 2024 began, a campaign in which people are invited to buy trips to Argentina and the world, with different promotions, from discounts up to financing.
With the organization of FAEVyT (Argentine Federation of Travel and Tourism Companies), different companies such as travel agencies, transportation and traveler assistance launched their proposals that can be used until September 1.
What you can get in Travel Sale 2024
To have a panorama general About what was the first day of Travel Sale 2024 and what may appear in the coming days, we consulted Matías Mute, co-founder of Promos Aéreas, a site specialized in finding good price opportunities.
“Highlights of the day are the 24 installments in national destinations, the 3 interest-free installments in hotels and international packages (although it does not include flights) and also the air offers abroad at a very good price, such as flights to Miami at $600,000,” says Mute.
He adds that many very interesting discount coupons also came out, but you have to take advantage of them quickly because they run out. There are up to $200,000 pesos in discounts on hotels and tickets.
Is it worth waiting for better offers? “We are not one of those who recommend waiting, whenever there is a good promo it must be broadcast, because there is a risk of losing it. It is true that another one may come out later, but it is not certain, neither that it will come out, nor that it will be in the same conditions that the previous one presented”.
This is why it is key to have an idea of the usual prices of the products you are looking for to quickly detect an offer and issue it.
“There are hundreds of people who are searching at the same time and what one does not emit, another takes advantage of,” concludes Mute.
The proposals of travel agencies for Travel Sale 2024
The agency Catch it Argentina offers the following discounted trips:
- Cruises for the 2024/2025 South American season: up to 40% discount and drink packages included.
- Low season in Argentina with up to 25% discount.
- Packages to Brazil: up to 20% discount.
- All Inclusive Hotels in the Caribbean with discounts of up to 40%.
On the other hand, Guido Boutet, marketing manager of the Travel Services agency says: “Prior to the start of the Travel Sale we already have three weeks in which Brazil grows and gains margin that previously belonged to Miami.”
And he adds: “Given the recent devaluation of the real, Brazil opens an interesting opportunity with a variety of proposals and important rates when comparing Florianópolis and Rio or Buzios”
Boutet ensures that all International products tend to be paid in dollars via bank transfer or account deposit in order to avoid the Country tax.
