“There is a fact that today, without quotas and at these high prices, the public with purchasing power travels abroad, which is high or medium-high purchasing power, obviously It hits him but he won’t stop making a trip because of this increase‘, detained.

Looking at last month’s moves, Gurfinkel confirmed it ‘30% more sold than before the pandemic’.

“Not only was this the first month we were over a month prior to the pandemic, but we were over 30% and Tuesday was, for example, a day of high sales because it was already known that the measure was going to take effect the next. August we had nothing to beat. We sold 98% compared to August 2019.”

Similarly, he stated in a call with AM Radio Con Vos: “In every previous month we have been a little lower and fortunately September was the first we were able to recover and surpass pre-pandemic levels.”
