Neuquén tourism industry development

Overview

Neuquén has established itself as a significant tourism market, particularly for travelers from Buenos Aires. This relationship is supported by high air connectivity, with over 1.3 million annual passengers traveling between the two regions, and increased corporate travel driven by Vaca Muerta hydrocarbon activity.

During the winter season spanning late June to late August, Neuquén recorded 193,456 tourists, generating an estimated $185 billion in consumption. Occupancy rates saw an increase compared to the previous year, with snow-related destinations reaching a 51% occupancy rate in late August. Infrastructure at the Aviador Carlos Campos Airport in Chapelco supported this growth, handling over 61,000 passengers. Local officials have indicated a focus on improving routes and services to sustain tourism and private investment.
