Long home to the Polo greats, Argentina is experiencing a boom in Polo tourism.  “Here in Argentina it is easy to practice and play because we have the horses, the land, the players — everything,”  commented Adolfo Cambiaso, well known as the top player in the world. Argentina´s relative cheapness to other polo playing countries and distance from world conflicts allows the industry to blossom- including Polo attire and even Polo themed resorts.  Teams are funded by patrons who spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, on horses and players, flying them around the globe to compete in tournaments.  The upper class sport has even been growing in popularity amongst celebrities, for example, Tommy Lee Jones has his own Argentine Polo Ranch.
