Santiago de Chile: the new tourist capital of South America
According to figures, Chile has become the second most important tourist destination after Brazil in South America, with more than 5.6 million visitors, and this year the number is expected to increase by 19%.
Our capital has become the shopping destination for Argentine tourists, who cross the Cordillera in search of good prices and offers and stay an average of 6 days in the city, although many take advantage of a long weekend to spend it shopping and the free time to visit places in the surroundings of Santiago, such as the central coast or the Cajón del Maipo.
In addition to this, a new type of tourist is arriving: the sybarite adventurers. These are people who travel alone and stay only a short time in the hotel. They are interested in visiting historical sites, museums, enjoying bars and restaurants and arriving at the end of the night to a central and safe place to rest. They need comfortable spaces and Internet with wifi to be able to connect when they return. Santiago is also the "Best Business Tourism Destination 2017" in South America, according to Business Destinations magazine, with visitors from Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil and the United States being the ones who travel the most to our country for business and also make a higher daily expenditure than vacation tourists.
The most interesting thing about this type of tourism is that it takes place throughout the year, so destinations are no longer visited only during the vacation season. This promotes a growth in the economy, the increase of places and recreational activities and a new impulse to the tourist industry. This is why Santiago is our favorite destination every day, at all times of the year.
