Argentina has definitely entered a hopeful stage. A new growth- and development-oriented public affairs management model is in place.
Tourism is destined to continue to play a key role within this ambitious, promising work scheme adopted by the Government.
Tourist development has been conceived as a Government policy, a common cause that we are all required to foster and protect from any changes in political leadership that may flow naturally from life in a democracy.
We are convinced that Tourism is the best tool to generate real income and create the new jobs so urgently needed in Argentina. Tourism will significantly contribute in overcoming, once and for all, the extreme crisis bearing down on the Argentine society as a whole.
In this stage, equal care and professionalism will be used in developing tourism for both Argentineans and international visitors, with a view to securing the sustained, consistent growth of our tourism options, a task in which the public and private sectors will continue to work hand in hand.
This can be done in an Argentina that is already a world-class tourism country given its wide variety of scenery and attractions, featuring high ecological protection levels in line with the present high demand for sustainable tourism.
Its diverse and year-round tourism possibilities are one of Argentina’s distinguishing features, resulting from a singular geography that ranges from the subtropical forest in the northern border to the icy Antarctica in the farthest south.
Throughout its lengthy coastal area, Argentina offers numerous opportunities to enjoy sunny beaches and the possibility to watch a wide variety of protected native wildlife in the Atlantic Patagonian area. In turn, the Andean Patagonian area displays its majestic forests, lakes and ancient glaciers, with a large combination of snow, active and adventure tourism. A country that preserves a strong aboriginal presence throughout its Northern region, its colonial past in Córdoba and the Northwestern region, outstanding vineyards surrounded by the high mountain tops in the Cuyo area, its gaucho tradition and impressive ranches in the vast, fertile humid Pampa plains, its history and culture in the vital, cosmopolitan Buenos Aires; basically, countless possibilities that are impossible to list here.
There is also the excellence of our hotel and gourmet industry, as well as an efficient, modern airport and air/land communications system, in addition to the supplementary services required to receive tourists from both Argentina and abroad.
In short, tourism in Argentina is a unique, singular experience within everyone’s reach. You are invited to live and enjoy it to the fullest.
