The economic stability of Argentina has been uneven for a very long time. Normally, the nation experiences periods of the economic boom followed by a recession period, which has made it hard for investors to establish the best kind of investment and the time to invest in the country. The state interference with the financial sector has been one of the major challenges in Argentina’s economic development. In most cases, the real financial situation and economic statistics are under-reported for political reasons, thus making the nation questionable for effective investments.

Excerpt from the Book
The tourism sector also plays an important role in Argentina’s export business.
As the country’s president pointed out in a press release to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), the tourism sector is very important since it solely generates wealth and decent work. According to the Argentine president, the travel and tourism sector in the country makes contributes immensely to the national economy Sreekumar (n. pag.). Moreover, the industry remains a powerful lead towards territorial development. Tourism statistics for the country have been quite encouraging, and the amounts of dollars entering Argentina have more than doubled since 2003. Additionally, worth noting is the marked improvement in conference marketing in the country which was ranked 40th globally in 2003 after hosting 17 conferences. After the launch of an aggressive marketing plan in 2008, the country managed to hold 115 events, thereby climbing the ranks to number 22 globally. In 2009, the country stood at position 19 after hosting 145 events, which is a great sign of marked growth.
Furthermore, investment in lodges, hotels, and motels has leaped 1,000 per cent since 2003, with the country’s major cities getting fully incorporated into the global tourism circuit. Evidently, tourism is better placed to be a major revenue generator for Argentina. Besides, the latest Marketing Plan for the country will ensure that it joins the leading world destinations which drive growth in the tourism sector. Thus, the continued excellence in the industry will guarantee return on investment and an ideal opportunity for economic evolvement in the future. Moreover, the robust tourism industry in Argentina, which is active all year round, enables it to cope with the country’s economic fluctuations. As Sreekumar (n.d) observes, tourism is the only industry that has exceeded the 1990 industry growth statistics. Therefore, investing in the two industries (agriculture and tourism) is an ideal choice for any investor.
