Not so much. Argentina has had an inflation rate of 30-40% per year. The blue dollar provided a cushion against that. With no more blue dollar, tourists will get the same rate of inflation as locals.

Hopefully the new government is able to reign in inflation, but at this point, no one knows for sure.
