Buenos Aires is one of the world’s most interesting, exciting, and diverse travel destinations — indeed an urban delight, chockablock full of good times and special experiences. In a celebratory salute to the Host City for TravelMart LatinAmerica 2018, TMLA and travel industry journalist Carla Hunt have prepared what we hope you’ll find to be a tasty and useful alphabetic potpourri of travel planning “ingredients,” designed to give TMLA Buyers, Suppliers, and Sponsors an in-depth, although perhaps personal, look at why legions of saavy travelers say: “It’s Better in B.A.”
