However, in order for the sector to develop its full potential it is necessary to boost measures that account for its strategic role for national growth.

He tourism It forms a key economic engine as long as it is transversal to multiple productive activities and represents a strategic tool for the positioning of the country globally. To consolidate the integration of the tourism industry in the different national growth projects it is important to meet a determining aspect: It should not be addressed as an accessory item, but as a state policy. Faced with this centrality, the need to implement a series of initiatives to enhance and strengthen the sector is evident.

The sector must be an active part of the change process that the national economy is living, it cannot be on its back to the course that the country has taken in terms of efficiency and transparency of resources.

We must have a pragmatic, technical and results -based relationship with the national government: if it is invested in tourism, the impact will be measured in more employment, more profitability and more regional development.

The main objective must be the development of a tourism where the entrepreneur does not guess, but decides precisely. Where the visitor is not frustrated, but recommends. Where the country does not improvise, but plan with evidence. That is the tourist Argentina that must be built.
