According to Telemondo, 2008 was the best year for tourism since 1996. The 2009 visitors season is off with a bang as well! We have bookings for next year and inquiries about rentals are up quite a bit compared with last year.
We feel we’ve played a small part by making Piriapolis far more visible in the international market. Our sister publication, Coastal Uruguay, the virtual Coastal Chamber of Commerce, had a larger hand in the success. Of the goals targeted, none is more important than exposing the Coast of Uruguay to European and North American audiences, with the express purpose expanding the visitor’s season beyond the two months (at best) it’s historically limited to. I’m happy to report progress is excellent.
I’ve talked with several travelers from North America and Europe that visited Piriapolis because of these publications. Another thing I appreciate about these people is most of them choose to visit in wonderful times like November, March and April, months South Americans do not come. We’ve also had rugged individuals as renters in May, June and September.
As the tourist season expands, we feel with complete and absolute certainty, cultural, creative as well as investment opportunities in real estate will grow exponentially. This trend has played out many times, many places on earth with the same results!
Stay Tuned!
