After a lackluster presentation last year, the national delegation will be led by Daniel Scioli, accompanied by a delegation made up of 13 provinces, six chambers and 57 representatives of Argentine companies.
FITUR is the most important international Tourism Fair in the world and the one that begins the annual calendar of the sector. After a lackluster presentation by Argentina in the 2024 edition, the national delegation will be headed by the Secretary of Tourism, Sports and Environment of the Nation, Daniel Scioli and it will be his first FITUR of the Milei era. He will travel accompanied by a delegation made up of thirteen provinces, six chambers of the tourism sector and fifty-seven representatives of Argentine companies.
According to the official statement, the agenda will take place between January 21 and 23 and will include, among other actions, their participation in the XXVIII Ibero-American Conference of Ministers and Entrepreneurs of Tourism (CIMET) with the presentation of the “Argentina” chapter of the CIMET 2025 Guide, and the meeting with Spanish tourism ministers and entrepreneurs, signing of the Agreement with the Secretary General of UN Tourism, Zurab Pololikashviiliand participate in the opening ceremony with the classic ribbon cutting. Other reported activities are cooperation agreements with airlines (the same thing is done every year) and presence at the presentation of the Latin American and Caribbean regional brand.
A priori there is no information from the Secretary of Tourism or Inprotur about a schedule of talks or presentations aimed at foreign operators at the Argentine stand, as was usually done.
Consult with Foreign Ministry sources. They affirm that “they are working against the clock to present an activity at the headquarters of the Argentine Embassy”, but surely everything will be communicated as they go.
The businessmen who are part of the delegation advance with their appointments and business meetings in the capital of Madrid, with the clear objective of generating contacts and business for the rest of the year.
In an unfavorable exchange rate context, Argentina will have to redouble its efforts to achieve attract a considerable flow of international tourism that will partially compensate for the negative imbalance in the balance caused by the surge in foreign travelthat is, that caused by outbound tourism.
