The recent heavy snow fall has made ski resorts the favored location of the past few weeks of winter vacation—a vacation which for Argentine school children ended yesterday.According to La Nacion, Bariloche and Las Lenas have been working at essentially full capacity, while Mar del Plata has been at 50%.While it seems obvious that the beach resort would get less tourism in the winter than ski resorts, the tourism levels in Mar del Plata were even lower than expected.Despite the heavy snow fall that just closed Bariloche, however, their luxury hotels are at 100% capacity right now, and cabins and hostels are close behind with 80% occupancy.These levels of tourism were above and beyond the expectations of Bariloche’s now decidedly pleased residents.
