    UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL DE SAN MARTÍN ESCUELA DE ECONOMÍA Y NEGOCIOS Centro de Investigación y Desarrollo Del Turismo Trabajo Final de Práctica Profesional de Investigación Orientada Evolución del Turismo Internacional en Argentina: Análisis de las variables turísticas entre 1998- 2019, aspectos económicos, mercados estratégicos y proyecciones hacia la nueva normalidad Autora: Gabriela Gisele Pontnau Tutor: Lic. Daniel Hugo Delía Buenos Aires 2020 Resumen En esta investigación se revisa la problemática de la evolución del Turismo Internacional en Argentina, que comprende el Turismo Receptivo y Emisivo. El trabajo se desarrolló entre enero y agosto de 2020; en donde se efectuó un seguimiento de las variables de turistas absolutos, divisas en millones de dólares, tipo de cambio Dólar/Peso y Real/Peso, motivo de viaje, tipo de alojamiento, organización del viaje, pernoctaciones por tipo de alojamiento, gasto total en dólares por tipo de alojamiento, estadía promedio en noches, gasto promedio por estadía en dólares y gasto promedio diario en dólares. La investigación fue atravesada por la irrupción de la pandemia de enfermedad de Coronavirus, que generó cierre de fronteras, restricciones de viajes en el 100% de los destinos mundiales, suspensión parcial o total de vuelos, y una de las mayores recesiones globales en décadas. De su impacto se desprendió el peor resultado de la serie histórica de turismo internacional desde 1950 y el fin abrupto de un período de 10 años de crecimiento sostenido desde el período financiero de 2009. Los resultados sugieren que la evolución del turismo internacional en Argentina tuvo un crecimiento sostenido. El tipo de cambio Real/Peso tuvo mayor incidencia en las llegadas por el volumen de turistas de Brasil y el tipo de cambio dólar/Peso afectó la balanza de divisas.

  • Tobati : Tradition and Change in a Paraguayan Town
    TOBATI: TRADITION AND CHANGE IN A PARAGUAYAN TOWN BY JAMES ESTON HAY A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1993 UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA LIBRARIES ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This research was funded by a Fulbright HE Dissertation Fellowship under the U.S. Department of Education, and a Dissertation Fellowship from the Organization of American States. I am most grateful for the support of both institutions in completing the fieldwork necessary for this study. I especially thank Mr. Alan Rogers, United States Information Service in Asuncion, and Sr. Atilio Nieto, special operations officer of the Organization of American States, in the same city, for their personal attention during my stay in Paraguay. During the many years I worked with the Peace Corps and with private business in Paraguay, I made many close friends, met many people, and made contact with many institutions in both the governmental and private sectors. When I returned to Paraguay to embark on the present study, I was grateful that those people were there to greet me and help me in so many ways. I often prevailed upon the kindness and patience of old friends and acquaintances, as much for camaraderie as for assistance in my work. Due to the help of many individuals, I bypassed much of the red tape and bureaucratic "channels" (truly the bane of researchers in Latin American countries) that otherwise would have made life so much more difficult and less pleasurable. I was especially happy to see old friends and colleagues among the Paraguayan staff of the Peace Corps as well as the directors and staff of MONITOR S.A.

  • “Here in Paraguay We Have to Sacrifice So Much to Get Anything”: Perceptions of Health and Healthcare Services Among Subsistence Farmers in Paraguay
    “Here in Paraguay we have to sacrifice so much to get anything”: Perceptions of Health and Healthcare Services among Subsistence Farmers in Paraguay By Sarah A. Flanagan A thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Public Issues Anthropology Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Sarah A. Flanagan, September 2012 ABSTRACT “HERE IN PARAGUAY WE HAVE TO SACRIFICE SO MUCH TO GET ANYTHING”: PERCEPTIONS OF HEALTH AND HEALTHCARE SERVICES AMONG SUBSISTENCE FARMERS IN PARAGUAY Sarah A. Flanagan Advisor: Professor Elizabeth Finnis University of Guelph, 2012 In this Master's of Public Issues Anthropology thesis I examine the perceptions of health and healthcare services within a small rural subsistence farming community in South-Western Paraguay from a political ecology of health perspective. Qualitative research data was collected from May to September of 2010 in Lindo Manantial, a subsistence farming village, and Piribebuy, the closest town to Lindo Manantial and the location of the nearest health centre, the Piribebuy Centro de Salud. The primary goals of this research project were to gain an ethnographic understanding of current local health perspectives and concerns, as well as the local frameworks for health provision in Piribebuy. I argue that the introduction of culturally competent healthcare services could greatly improve individual and community health statuses and outcomes in Lindo Manantial and other similar rural subsistence farming communities in Paraguay. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I must extend my sincere gratitude to Professor Elizabeth Finnis, my advisor throughout this research process and without whom this thesis would not have been possible.

    IPP264 Paraguay Community Development Project Indigenous Peoples Development Framework Introduction Public Disclosure Authorized 1. Indigenous Peoples (IP) in Paraguay represent only 1.7% of the total population (about 87,100) people, according to the most recent Indigenous Peoples Census (2002). Notwithstanding, IP, show a higher population growth rate (3.9%) than the average for the national population (2.7%). Therefore, it is possible to expect that the proportion of IP will continue to grow for some time, even though they will continue to be a small proportion of the total population. 2. There are 19 different ethnic groups1 belonging to five linguistic families2, being the most numerous those belonging to the Guarari linguistic family3 (46,000 or 53%), followed by the Maskoy linguistic family groups4 (21,000 or 24%). The four largest IP groups are the Ava-Guarani (13,400 or 15.5%), Mbyá (14,300 or 16.7%), Pâí Tavyterâ (13,100 or 15.2%), and the Nivacle (12,000 or 13.9%).

  • JAPANESE IMMIGRANTS ABROAD by John B
    JAPANESE IMMIGRANTS ABROAD by John B. Cornell and Robert J. Smith Introduction Our intent here is to review research completed to date on our subject and to call attention to topics which seem particularly promising for future investigation. We have limited our concern to research on Japanese in the Americas and Hawaii, feeling that materials on Japanese in other areas are too fugitive or the issues they concern too parochial to justify inclusion in this brief review. Migration from Japan began in 1868, the year of the Restoration. Al- though Japan strove to resettle large numbers of excess proletarians in Manchukuo and other areas under her political control in the interwar period, the most successful, lasting and best documented migrations were to other regions of the world and seem to bear no relation to the Empire's colonial ambitions. Well above a million, and possibly five million, Japa- nese went abroad during this period for reasons other than tourism and governmental foreign service (Ichihashi 1932: 12; Ota 1968: 1). Foreign reaction to the image of Japan presented by immigrants abroad has tended to be mixed and in general far less favorable than that produced by Jap- anese achievements in the arts, letters, technology, and scholarship. The body of literature on emigration and the Japanese abroad is vast, but it is uneven in quality and displays little thematic consistency. One of its promi- nent characteristics is a pulse-like pattern over time as the intensity of scholarly interest in migration rose and fell according to the intensity of concern felt by receiving nations over strategies of accepting and exporting immigrants and over the treatment of resident Japanese minorities.
