 <title>Foreign tourists to Chile up 16.2% in first half of 2006</title>
 <link>http://www.chilepros.com/foreign_tourists_to_chile_up_16_2_in_first_half_of_2006</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;According the &lt;a href="http://www.sernatur.cl"&gt;Sernatur&lt;/a&gt;, Chile's National Tourism Service Office, foreign tourists to Chile were up 16.2% in the first half of 2006 over the same period of time in 2005.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last year figures show that 2.207.082 foreign tourists arrived in Chile with an average expenditure of 503 US dollars. Statistics show that only the number of tourists from Germany declined (5.6%), with a significant increase among those coming from South America, 16.7%.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tourists from Argentina increased 10.8%; from Brazil, 11.3%; Peru 16.4% and Bolivia a whooping 58.5% basically following the elimination of the need of a passport to visit Chile. Colombians also registered a significant increase of 29.7% in 2005.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The increase in the number of visitors from North America was below average, 13.9% with Canada registering the highest growth 22.8% compared to Mexico’s 13.6% and United States 12.3%.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tourism numbers from Europe were quite erratic. The overall increase was 9% with Britain 18.9%; Spain 10.9%; France 9.3%; Italy 8.2% and Germany declining 5.6%.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Among the group of European visitors with lesser impact in numbers, Holland comes ahead with a 20.1% increase followed by Sweden with 6.4%. The 2005 Chilean tourism report points out the growing importance of Oceania with Australia leading with an overall increase of 17.5%.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Chile and Argentina Create Biosphere Reserve in Patagonia</title>
 <link>http://www.chilepros.com/chile_and_argentina_create_biosphere_reserve_in_patagonia</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Chile and Argentina have teamed up to create a &lt;a href="http://www.mercopress.com/Detalle.asp?NUM=8482"&gt;4.7 million hectares of land into a biosphere reserve&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Andean-North Patagonian Biosphere Reserve is the fruit of conservation efforts in both countries. Nahuel Huapi park ranger Juan Salguero said he foresees “a shared policy of endangered species protection and hunting and fishing, as well as treaties on pest protection and forest fires.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The vast forestland may also be sanctified a “world nature reserve” by the United Nations Education Science and Culture Organization (UNESCO) in March 2007. The World Network of Biosphere Reserves already includes eight sites in Chile, out of 482 worldwide. Designated reserve sites receive aid in conservation, development, research, monitoring and education.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

 <title>Unique Private Park Getaway in Southern Chile</title>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Former American clothing tycoon-turned-environmentalist Douglas Tompkins moved here 15 years ago and created what's billed as the biggest privately owned park in the world with the money from selling shares in North Face and Esprit, the clothing companies he founded. He named the park Pumalin after the pumas that live in the area.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you think it might be a great Chilepros Travel destination, check out the &lt;a href="http://www.parquepumalin.cl/"&gt;Pumlin Park's&lt;/a&gt; web site for more information.&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.chilepros.com/sites/chilepros.com/files/cruise_ship.jpg" align="right" style="padding: 0 0 1em 1em" /&gt;According to &lt;a href="http://www.mercopress.com"&gt;MercoPress&lt;/a&gt;, a record number of &lt;a href=http://www.mercopress.com/Detalle.asp?NUM=7933"&gt; cruiseships visited Chile ports&lt;/a&gt; in 2005.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The number of luxury line cruise ships calling at Chilean ports grew to a record breaking 120 in 2005, up by 20% over the previous season. Industry leaders say that even more cruise ships are on the horizon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Passengers who visit Chile aboard the cruisers spend on average 100 US dollars in each port, and the packaged tourism deals sold to the passengers have increased by 30% the past several years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

 <title>Slopes In Chile Attracting North American Skiers</title>
 <link>http://www.chilepros.com/press_releases/slopes_in_chile_attracting_north_american_skiers</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;As the summer closes in on the slopes of North American ski resorts, skiers are heading south for the summer to check out the &lt;a href="http://www.columbusdispatch.com/default.php?story=dispatch/2006/05/14/20060514-F5-00.html"&gt;great ski destinations in Chile&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;PORTILLO, Chile — I strap on my skis and stare anxiously at the array of chairlifts heading off into the distance. I haven’t skied in five years and wonder whether, at age 44, I can still muster the skill to whoosh down a mountain.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have come to a good place to find out — two, in fact: the Chilean resorts of Portillo and Valle Nevado.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And best of all, I’ll be skiing during what is summer in the United States.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chile’s ski season — usually from June 15 to Oct. 10 — offers anything you could want. It’s possible to take an overnight flight from the United States, get off the plane and hit the slopes that same day. Another plus: Chile is a rapidly modernizing country with a stable democracy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nestled in splendid isolation in central Chile, Portillo remains the grand dame of South American ski resorts — laid-back and homey, all the while offering world-class skiing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

 <title>Hike The Entire Length of Chile: Sendero de Chile</title>
 <link>http://www.chilepros.com/press_releases/hike_the_entire_length_of_chile</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;All Southern Chile has a great review of the Sendero de Chile, a hiking trail that runs the entire length of Chile.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well, it's just a trail. Granted, the Sendero de Chile is a very long trail by most standards. It covers the entire length of Chile, from the northern border to the very tip of South America. It includes a total of more than 9,700 km. of trekking paths. The main trail was designed to better connect the many existing trail loops of the National Parks and Natural Reserves systems that already existed in Chile, and help protect the environment while helping to promote tourism in rural areas of Chile.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For more information on the trail, check out &lt;a href="http://www.allsouthernchile.com/content/blogsection/25/85/"&gt;All Southern Chile&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Easter Island to Gain Autonomy</title>
 <link>http://www.chilepros.com/press_releases/easter_island_to_gain_autonomy</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://english.ohmynews.com"&gt;OhMyNews.com&lt;/a&gt; is reporting that &lt;a href="http://english.ohmynews.com/articleview/article_view.asp?no=289863&amp;amp;rel_no=1"&gt;Easter Island will gain administrative autonomy from Chile&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chile is currently divided into 13 regions and includes part of Antarctica. The regions are composed of 51 provinces, which in turn are made up of 324 municipalities. Easter Island is a province and at the same time a municipality of the fifth Region of Chile, named Valparaiso.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All provinces are administratively dependent on the regions in all respects, especially so in regard to development, which is strongly involved with the country's distribution of wealth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

 <title>Chile Elects First Female President</title>
 <link>http://www.chilepros.com/press_releases/chile_elects_first_female_president</link>

&lt;blockquote&gt;Chile president-elect  Michelle Bachelet, a Socialist who will be the country's first  female leader, vowed on Monday to shrink the gap between rich  and poor that persists in the South American nation despite  lower poverty and a thriving economy.
&lt;p&gt;    Bachelet, from Chile's ruling center-left coalition, won 53  percent of ballots cast in Sunday's election while opposition  candidate Sebastian Pinera took 47 percent, the government  Electoral Service said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Michelle Bachelet wants to &lt;a target="_self" href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=10000086&amp;amp;sid=aIU6RqChnGrQ&amp;amp;refer=latin_america"&gt;keep the economy vibrant&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; This is wonderful news as the tourism industry has been active and thriving.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="style5"&gt;
&lt;p&gt; Bachelet, 54, takes over an economy that is expanding for a seventh year, benefiting from a surge in prices of copper, Chile's No. 1 export. A member of the coalition that has governed since former dictator Augusto Pinochet fell from power in 1990, Bachelet also inherits a record budget surplus, an inflation rate less than a third the level of neighboring Argentina and declining unemployment.          &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; ``I receive a country that's energized, prosperous, optimistic,'' Bachelet said in a victory speech from a stage in downtown Santiago last night. ``After decades of economic ups and downs, we built a vibrant economy that many want to imitate. We will continue on that road.''          &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
