Swine Flu

As travel professionals we think its important to keep you all abreast on the safety issues surrounding travel. While public health warnings have been issued regarding the safety of traveling to Mexico and the United States because of the recent outbreak of swine flu, we feel that healthy individuals can travel at a very low risk. Argentina is a region of the world that still remains untouched so you can still enjoy your South American playground!

Check back here for more information regarding the safety of travel. In the meantime, check out this interesting article about Dengue in Argentina.

WATCH OUT!

We thought we'd spread the word on a nasty little update regarding fees and fines. Previously, when you would leave the country it would only cost you AR 50 if you over-stayed your visa. Now however, it is AR 300 for an overstayed visa. Not exactly breaking the bank but still, a marketable increase.

Just thought we'd let you know!

Why We Are So Much Fun

Even though Carnival has passed, we wanted to remind all you members out there what makes us so much fun. In February we were running a promotion offering a free 7-night stay in Salvador Bahia for Carnival! Three lucky MH members traveled to Carnival and enjoyed the biggest festival in the world! Our memberships include 10% off each night's stay sure, but they include oh, so much more.

We'd also like to thank Open House Barra for being particularly amazing during this promotion!

Gracias!
