In 2019, over 81 percent of Argentine tourists traveled only within the country, while another 12.4 percent traveled exclusively abroad. Meanwhile, less than one out of 10 Argentinian travelers took trips both domestically and internationally that year. Domestic tourism accounted for 85 percent of travel and tourism spending in the South American country in 2019.

Supplementary notes
* The survey sample consists of approximately 10,000 households, which sums up around 30,000 people.
The Encuesta de Viajes y Turismo de los Hogares (EVyTH) is carried out from February to May of each year since 2012 to collect information on tourism behavior among Argentinians. The results of the survey are projected over the total population living in urban agglomerates with more than 100 thousand inhabitants.
Tourism travel is defined by the source as visit of up to one year to a destination located outside the usual home environment. Trips to second homes are considered tourist trips. Work transfers and business travel are excluded. The EVyTH defines destinations outside the usual home environment as those more distant than 40Km (for the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires and the Greater Buenos Aires region) and 20km (for the rest of the urban conglomerates) as long as the destination is not visited on a weekly basis.
