Argentina is experiencing a surge in outbound tourism to the United States, driven by a stronger Argentine peso under President Javier Milei and the popularity of soccer star Lionel Messi. This increase is notable despite a decline in visitors from Europe and Canada to the U.S. under former President Donald Trump. Key destinations for Argentine tourists include Disney World and Miami. The upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup is also contributing to this travel boom. In response, Argentina has launched a comprehensive tourism promotion plan that offers discounted airfares to Chileans, encouraging them to visit Argentina and explore multiple cities within the country. Additionally, a major leadership summit featuring Lionel Messi, Will Smith, and Ken Griffin is scheduled in Miami for November 5-6, 2025, highlighting the intersection of sports, business, and culture. Miami Mayor Francis Suarez will chair the event. Meanwhile, an airline is celebrating its anniversary by offering Buenos Aires-Miami flights for under $1,000, further facilitating travel between the two countries.
