TOURIST ARRIVALS IN ARGENTINA

Tourism is one of the developing spheres throughout the world. This survey displays the most essential factors that impact tourist arrivals in Argentina, focusing on data between 1995 and 2016 from three different countries: Bolivia, Brazil, and Chile. The research analyzed how having a common spoken language, tourist income in origin, distance between origin countries and Argentina, political stability in origin countries, and tourist income in distance affect tourism. To gain data, 5 independent variables were analyzed using linear regression in the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) program. As a result, the distance between origin countries and Argentina is the most significant key factor influencing tourism. Although factors such as having a common spoken language, tourist income in origin, political stability in origin, and tourist income in distance also play a medium role in shaping tourist flows. This research provides a comprehensive understanding of the drivers of international tourism to Argentina, offering valuable implications for policymakers and stakeholders.
