Even if they were reduced by say, $25 or $50, it would not materially affect the price of a ticket from North America. From a neighbo(u)ring country, perhaps it would affect travel patterns. But I'd expect that Brazil's economic state of health has a lot more to do with the number of tourists than the number that avoid Argentina because of the taxes/fees.
