The tourists should realize that things are
serious and that we want to see the beaches
left unoccupied.
Tupamaros *
The “Switzerland of Latin America” is not the
haven it used to be for wealthy tourists. Real es-
tate in Punta del Este, Uruguay’s plush resort area,
is down 65 percent. La Manana, a Uruguayan daily,
warned: “If the season is successful, it will be
a miracle.” *
The slump in Uruguay’s tourism this season
(which runs from December to March) is mainly at-
tributed to the increased activities of the Tupa-
maros. Chalets have been bombed, electricity has
been cut, and water pipes have been severed. With
their war on tourism the guerrillas are disrupting
a vital part of Uruguay’s economy. The national
income from tourism, normally about $50 million
a year, amounts to more than one quarter of the
income from all exports combined. **
By attacking the tourist industry, the Tupa-
maros are also creating tensions between Argentina
and Uruguay. Wealthy Argentines comprise 90 per-
cent of Punta del Este’s seasonal visitors. As
The New York Times reported recently,
Argentine tourists have complained of bad
treatment by the Uruguayan police who are
constantly searching for the guerrillas.
Some tourists are dismayed by the sight of
police snipers on rooftops along main Mon-
tevideo thoroughfares.
… according to Armando Matos, the Uruguayan
Government’s tourism director, tourism de-
clined this summer by 30 to 50 percent, de-
pending on whether people or cars are counted.**
The Uruguayan government has accused the Ar-
gentine press of exaggerating the magnitude of
Tupamaro actions to encourage Argentines to spend
their vacations at home. In an effort to counter
the unfavorable press, the Uruguayan ministry of
tourism invited 84 Argentine journalists to Punta
del Este. Four well-timed Tupamaro bombs spoiled
the quiet beaches and the journalists were forced
home. *
