The Airport Economist in Latin America goes live

Catherine Balston • May 15, 2019

The second series of The Airport Economist, hosted by globe-trotting business guru Tim Harcourt, features episodes shot in Brazil and Argentina by the Story Productions crew

Australian economist and author Tim Harcourt was on South American soil late last year to film the second series of The Airport Economist, focusing on Latin America after the success of the first series, filmed in Asia. On his travels, Harcourt speaks to politicians, business leaders and entrepreneurs to find out everything there is to know about how companies can get a toehold in each market.

Famed for his flamboyant character, Harcourt never passes up an opportunity to soak up the local culture and crack out a pun or two, as you might guess from his series promo:

"Does it really take Two to Tango to do business in Argentina? Should we Blame it on Rio in Brazil? Does Red Hot Chile Pepper the world with FTAs? Shall Alpaca my bags and head to Peru? If you’d like the answer to these questions and inside tips on how to do business globally tune in to The Airport Economist TV series"

It's no surprise then to say that the Story Productions crew enjoyed the days we spent filming with Harcourt on the Brazil and Argentina legs of his Latin American journey. The series producers hired us to shoot in Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires, and the series is now being broadcast. Watch the Brazil episode above, and the Argentina episode below >>

The Airport Economist Latin America, which also includes episodes on doing business in Mexico, Chile and Peru, is currently being aired on Your Money 95 Free to Air Foxtel Channel 601 and will soon air on Qantas and LATAM airlines in-flight entertainment. The full series can also be watched on www.theairporteconomist.com.
