Hello and welcome to Business Daily from the BBC World Service.

I'm Jane Chambers.

Today I'm asking the question, is Chile becoming Argentina's shopping centre?

And if so, why now?

Visitors like Dolores are important for Chile's retail industry.

We get most of our visitors in January.

That's when they come to the beach in Vina del Mar.

I think around 10 to 15% of people who visit the outlets are from Argentina.

We'll be exploring why inflation, exchange rates, brands and taxes are all reasons attracting shopping tourism.

But is it a trend that will last?

That's all coming up in Business Daily from the BBC.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of Argentinians head to neighbouring Chile's central coast, with Viña del Mar and nearby beaches among their favourite destinations.

One of the reasons is because it's Argentina's closest, most accessible foreign beach and shopping zone.

I'm here at Viña Outlet Park, which has become a popular destination for Argentinian shoppers.

I've been told the best time to come is in the morning, when the weather's usually cloudy, before they head off to the beach in the afternoon, when the sun comes out.

In a large shoe shop, I talked to one of the sales reps, Eduardo Gonzalez, about his favourite customers.
