Since more than ten years, Argentina did decide to transform touristic de-velopment into a new political status. This fact was a Milestone for tourism consistent growth. From then on, we did not talk anymore about our po-tentials and did go over to a scenario of concrete measures. With the contribution of the public and private sectors tangible progress was made in diversification of sup-plies, in quality and professionalism, in sustainable activities planning, in investment and infrastructure. That less than 3 million passengers registered in 2003, increased to more than 5 million. Visitors arrive looking for unique and contrasting natural

Inmersive tango from Buenos Aires, the majestic Patagonia glaciers, deli-cious Northern cuisine, the wonder-ful Iguazu falls are some examples of people recommending to friends and family to visit Argentina alter they are back in theire home towns. That postcard diversity calls the entire World to share unique experiences in our extensive territory. “Argentina beats to your rythm” - “Argentina late con vos” -, we say every time we start our country’s tourism promotion. The invitation, vital and vibrant , realizes our engagement as hosts.

The emblematic route number 40 - that goes through the entire country -, the wine route – that shows its in-tensity in the Cuyo region - sport fish-ing –in Patagonia or coastal provinc-es -, among others places-, polo and golf, bird and whale watching, every performance of the since some years southamerican Dakar rally are only some points of an unlimited attraction list.Arriving almost to sky with the “Train to the clouds” -Tren a las Nubes – or escalating the Aconcagua, to cross the heritage of humanity such as Huma-huaca Ravine - Quebrada de Huma-huaca -, to attend to the unforgettable show of the most classic argentinian

Those of us who have the opportunity to be in contact with guests and din-ers from different parts of the world, know that today’s tourists are look-ing to live experiences that facilitate to know idiosyncrasies and personal-ity of the visited country. The tourist wants to see a unique landscape, en-joy different climates, practice active tourism, visit museums and art gal-leries, but in every step in a foreign country, he looks to be in contact with the emotion, with the most distinctive aspects of its culture, like traditions, languages, rituals, and of course, these visited country’s hospitality, the spirit of a good host, flavors and co-lours of regional products, which are

delivered through typical dishes and wines. In this regard, Argentina with its products and hotel services and gas-tronomy has the possibility of a bet-ter positioning in the world. This is the big challenge of the management, working hand in hand with the pub-lic sector. Every foreign tourist that arrives is like an export trade when local products and services are con-sumed, so that the tourism sector is an important employment generator, a very significant aspect for countries like ours that has to impulse sustain-able growth in all regions. . Tourism generates revenue in the host commu-nities on a cross cutting basis.

Argentina, its hospitality and flavors

That is why Argentinas Hotel and Gastronomy Business Federation - established over 70 years ago, with more than 50.000 hotels and restau-rantes members, affiliated in 63 offices – has as an objective to stimulate the positioning of our hotels and restau-rants in the World. This sector works very professionaly. Every day, hotels and restaurants de-velop a high level new gastronomic choice in order to deliver more ser-vices to the guests. Our interest is to support you, to work methodically and on a long term projection with the goal of developing regional econ-omy, products local culinary expres-sions, in order to generate an integral

productive feedback movement, to-gether with hotel and gastronomy Management as important market catalyst. In this frame, we develope different strategies for the positioning of re-gional production, ‘haute cuisine’ and Argentina’s Hotels. One of them is our presence at international fairs. Hotels and restaurants in Argentina generate 500.000 jobs and is par tof the Tour-ism industry that surpasses 7% GDP (Gross Domestic Product) and 7% of employment in Argentina. Our mis-sion, as representative institution of the whole activity, is to develop a long term strategy for the development of this sector and the country.

From the Tropic to the Antarctic and from the Andes Moun-tains to the Atlantic Ocean, the 24 Argentine provinces cov-er a surface of 3,761,274 square kilometers. The country bor-ders Bolivia, Paraguay and Brazil on the North; Uruguay, Río de la Plata, and the Atlantic Ocean in the on the East; Chile and the Atlantic Ocean on the South; and also Chile on the West.An extensive maritime coast lies in the Atlantic Ocean and offers the most visited places such as the most popu-lar coastal city of the country: Mar del Plata. Moving to the South you’ll see the Península de Valdés –a marine fauna heaven— and on the tip of the continent the southernmost city appears: Ushuaia.On the Andes Mountains, the “Aconcagua” –the highest

mountain of the Continent— stands out. It is 6959 meters in height and it has lakes, slopes covered in snow to please any skier and an oasis with production of wines, delicate fruits, olives and sheep. The Pampa plains shelter the richest meat and grain farms that have always epitomized our country; today they be-long to a network of tourism estancias to be in contact with nature and its inhabitants and to enjoy the experience of rural tourism.One of the candidates to become the Wonder of Nature is the largest wetland of the country, the Iguazú Falls –in the Iberá Wetlands— lying in the green littoral and hosting the most colorful carnivals and the most combative fish: the goldfish, the king of sports fishing.

Cordoba Mountains in the center of the country surround lovely landscapes still preserving some of the UNESCO heritage such as the Jesuit Farming Estates. The warm North keeps the old history of our continent sub-merging its cultural roots in the Incas era and keeping them alive on their gastronomy, rites and celebrations.And finally the most cosmopolitan city: Buenos Aires. It is the main entrance door to the country and it is the city where you will find places resembling Madrid, Par-is or Rome, where there will always be someone willing to share a coffee and have a long chat on how to fix the world’s many issues.

Congresses and ConventionsNot only will you find a complete and modern infrastruc-ture when choosing Argentina as the place to plan your business events, but you will also find a variety of alterna-tive activities to make the stay of the attendees more en-joyable.The success of an event –for business or professional rea-sons, for an incentive travel, or to attend a convention or a fair— highly depends on the host destination chosen; the diversity of activities, the quality of the hotels, the food and the entertainment options are a key factor. Argentina offers all these options. So we shouldn’t be surprised because of the fact that Argentina is in position number 19 within the worldwide ranking for business events host countries; this is due to the implementation of the Marketing Plan for Busi-

ness Tourism and all the work being done as a “Country Team” jointly by INPROTUR and its strategic ally: AOCA (Argentine Association of Congresses and Expositions Or-ganizers and Providers).55% of the congresses held in Argentina take place in Bue-nos Aires due to its large hotel accommodation capaci-ty, which has positioned the capital city in the first place among American countries with respect to the amount of international congresses held.Then we have Mar del Plata, Córdoba, Rosario, Mendoza, and a lot of other places within Buenos Aires city, Salta, Santa Fe, Tucumán, Paraná, San Juan, San Luis, La Plata, Neuquén, Ushuaia, Comodoro Rivadavia and Posadas.

BenefitsInternational flights from Europe and other American coun-tries arrive to the airports of Buenos Aires, Salta, Mendoza and Córdoba. What is more, flights departing from Buenos Aires and other local cities can take their passengers direct-ly to the tourist destination; highways and routes also con-nect destinations making traveling by car a journey of only a few hours between the convention center and other tour-ist attractions, which is an added value when deciding the host destination for your future events.

A cosmopolitan and busy city, active all day long and with lovely neighborhoods that evidence a great part of the young 430-years-old city, Buenos Aires is the political, eco-nomic, and cultural capital of Argentina.Buenos Aires is the main entrance to the country and more than five million tourists explore its streets looking for the city’s most widely known icons: the “argentine meat” and the “tango”. Hundreds of good restaurants, grills (where you’ll eat grilled cow, poultry and pork meat), Tango Houses –to combine Buenos Aires music and typical food— meet all these expectations.The city offers a wide variety of accommodation options

due to the intensive growth in the hotel industry with the best international hotel chains and also with the emergence of boutique hotels (many of them as theme hotels) meeting all visitors’ expectations.Moreover, the many ways of connecting Buenos Aires with the rest of the country make the capital city a very flexi-ble option when merging work and a pleasure tra–vel. All these benefits are a good reason to choose Buenos Aires as the host city for a business meeting, a congress or a conven-tion. The events premises offer spaces for big meetings or fairs, but many hotels –4 and 5 stars hotels— have meet-ing rooms for various uses and offer an ideal location in the central points of the capital city to host business meet-

ings, products presentations, professional seminars and so-cial meetings. State-of-the-art technology is always present; the only thing that changes is the number of rooms, luxury, or services.Moreover, Buenos Aires offers services to make the organi-zation of events easier by means of a reciprocity agreement subscribed with some countries to agree that those regis-tered to attend congresses and to hire stands in expositions within Argentina are exempt from IVA tax payment.Some of the events that attract visitors every year are the Argentina-Chile Dakar Rally, the Tango World Champi-

onship, the Book Fair, the Rural Exposition, the Polo Open Championship, the Latin America International Tourism Fair (FIT), the Fashion Buenos Aires Show, the ArteBA contemporary art fair, and the lyric season at the Colon Theater –one of the most prestigious lyric events in the world, now on a completely new Colon Theater that re-opened in 2010 during the Argentina’s Bicentennial cel-ebration.

The city’s main attractionsThanks to the immigrants that arrived to our country dur-

AT&B | 20

ing the 19th century the city’s neighborhoods adopted oth-er city’s identities such as Madrid, in Av.de Mayo; Paris, in Recoleta and Alvear avenue; and Nápoles in La Boca and its Caminito street. Buenos Aires downtown still preserves an aura of the times it was a Spanish Colony -Plaza de Mayo is the main spot- and you can look for San Telmo, the Tango neighborhood, with its cobblestone streets and its many an-tique shops.The most modern and expensive neighborhood is Puerto Madero where the old Docks have been recycled to build

hundreds of places offering delicious local food and to take a walk by the Rio de la Plata river.Green areas are located in Bosques de Palermo –Parque 3 de Febrero—(Palermo woods), the Zoo, the Jardín Botánico (Botanic Garden), the Jardín Japonés (Japanese Garden and Teahouse), the Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo (Palermo Racetrack) and the Campo Argentino de Polo (Argentine Polo field) –where the most important Polo championships take place. All these places are also visitors’ attractions, es-pecially during weekends.

Many characters from history have left their trail in Buenos Aires City and you can walk around to find their steps: Jorge Luis Borges, Evita, Carlos Gardel, As-tor Piazzola and Diego Maradona are part of our na-tional identity.

Meeting CentersOur capital city has three exhibition centers with a total surface greater than 150,000 square meters and state-of-the-art complementary technical services. On the other hand, 4 and 5-star international hotels also offer more than

500 halls with capacity for up to 2,400 people, plus other unconventional rooms.Exhibition centers host big events or fairs with a maxi-mum capacity for 20,000 visitors. These centers are Cen-tro Costa Salguero, La Rural, Centro de Exposiciones de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, and Centro Cultural General San Martín. Other less conventional options have been incor-porated over the years such as sheds –formerly a factoryw building—, soccer stadiums, restaurants, theaters, cultural centers, theaters and even hangars within the Aeroparque Metropolitano regional airport.

Nature at hand thirty-minute drive takes you to one of the most beauti-ful landscapes in history: Delta del Tigre (Tigre Delta). The Paraná River flows into Río de la Plata River travel-ing through hundreds of islands filled with vegetation as a distraction for urban inhabitants and offering an original choice for meetings, congresses or conventions.Tigre city offers a wide variety of halls for business events and 1,000 hotel beds options all over the continental area and the Delta. Intercontinental and Howard Johnson ho-tels are coming soon; these hotels will have events halls with enough room for 600 to 1000 attendees. A floating ho-tel will also be inaugurated soon.

The province of Buenos Aires is home of outstanding cities surrounded by endless horizons where

tradition of the old world lives on an outstanding harmony with best attributes of modern life

offering incredible options when it comes to organize events.

Catamarans are another interesting option with roofed halls and food service on board to host original business events.Another place with interesting options to organize origi-nal events is the city of Pilar. Not only does it have 561 ho-tel beds options, but it is also one of the major Industrial Parks in South America. It offers more than 30 halls, 60 restaurants, 10 shopping centers and a lot of Polo clubs.

Another Capital cityThe city of La Plata, provincial capital, is located 35 miles away from Buenos Aires and it can be the most attractive option to hold professional meetings. The city was first de-

signed and then built and it is an example of 19th centu-ry’s urban planning.Among the most important attractions we have the Museo de Ciencias Naturales (Museum of Natural Science) –one of the most important museums in South America—; the Cathedral –with its Neo-gothic style bell towers; the ma-ny squares drawing La Plata’s typical diagonal streets; and one of the most gorgeous theaters –El Argentino. For the organization of your events there are many options: the Centro Cultural Pasaje Dardo Rocha offering 3 full-equipped theater halls (the biggest one has a capacity for

350 people); the Centro Cultural Islas Malvinas with three Art halls, an auditorium for 300 people and a screening room for 100 people; the Argentino, Coliseo Podestá and the Palacio Municipal theaters also offer interesting op-tions; the Corregidor Hotel (4-star hotel) has a hall for 180 people and the La Plata Stadium –the first roofed stadium in Latin America. Its infrastructure can hold international sport and cultural events with a sitting capacity of 40,000.

The Sea attractionThe lovely city of Mar del Plata is the second most chosen

CIUDAD DE BUENOS AIRES

AT&B | 26

destination for business tourism. The biggest coastal city within the province of Buenos Ai-res has what it takes to attract visitors during the entire year, but there is no doubt that summer is the best season for Mar del Plata due to its 29 miles of beaches.You can surf, skydive, fish, play golf or tenis, or practice riskier activities such as parachuting, BMX, sandboard, and off-road adventures.Mar del Plata is only 250 miles away from Buenos Aires and it offers ideal options to get there using the highway, but you can also travel by plane in a 40-minutes flight. A total of 150.000 people have attended the 200 meeting events that Mar del Plata hosts every year.Another destination with several options for events is

Pinamar. It has 21.500 hotel beds options of different cat-egories and with equipped halls for events. The city of-fers –among its many options— wide beaches, large pine-woods, fresh air and a big infrastructure to enjoy spare time using tennis courts, golf courses, driving quads and riding horses.If you are looking for a place to organize sports events, the city of Necochea –located in the Atlantic Coast 328 miles away from Buenos Aires— has a long coastline with 44 miles of beaches, a Sports Stadium with capacity for 3000 people and a hall with a seating capacity of 200. Thou-sands of tourists visit Necochea and practice sports fishing in Quequén Grande River, in the lakes or in the coast; they also go on photo safaris and practice rafting, kayaking and

AT&B | 28

slalom in the fast-flowing areas of Rio Quequén. If you continue moving down to the lower end of the At-lantic Coast you will meet the great city of Bahía Blanca: an industrial center with a deep-water port.The city of Bahía Blanca hosts meetings, expositions, busi-ness meetings and fairs. The exhibition hall of Bahía Blanca has a hall and 5 exhi-bition rooms –with comfortable facilities and appropriate

equipment— covering a total surface of 3000 square me-ters and a maximum capacity for 4000 people.The Teatro Municipal (Municipal Theater) is also a good option and, with a capacity for 850 people, it’s one of the most distinguished cultural centers in the city.

Meeting CentersOther than hotels, sports stadiums, theaters and exhibition halls, Buenos Aires also offers turism estancias with rooms suitable for different needs and a natural environment ide-al for those who live in busy urban developments.

AT&B | 30

Definitely, the argentine littoral represents the ideal frame to organize congresses and conventions and to make un-forgettable incentive trips.Moving south you will find the province of Santa Fe, with Rosario as its main city. Strategically located, Rosario has a busy commercial activity in relation to agriculture and cat-tle raising in the region and is the principal economic cen-ter of the province and the third city in terms of amount of participants on business events every year.The beaches of the Paraná River decorate the city and its coastline offers boulevards surrounded by palms; the buildings and the monuments –like the Flag Monument— make it a special place.

Argentina’s coastal provinces show to the world with its forests, endless wetland, and fertil

meadows where life opens to a broad variety and quantity of animals. Events, congresses and

conventions find there an outstanding quality scenario.

Rosario is a logistic center and its rail networks and road systems complement the airport and provide an easy ac-cess to the city; it is an importante city due to the existence of river transportation and to the activity of its port. Halls and buildings with state-of-the-art technology provide the proper infrastructure to organize fairs and congresses and local service providers are well-known all over the country.Culture and history are a strong element in the city of Posadas, Province of Misiones. The city has daily flights connecting the city with Buenos Aires and it is close to Paraguay’s capital city and the Brazilian South. Not only does it offer rich culture and nature but it also has an ad-ditional charm due to its proximity to the Jesuit Missions.

Santa FeSanta Fe, capital of the city named likewise, is located in the Pampa plains bordered by fabulous streams, lakes, and plentiful rivers that constitute the largest fluvial sys-tem in South America due to its size.Santa Fe, the so-called “City of Conventions” shows its lovely colonial-style buildings and modern constructions. It has high performance centers, a car racing track street circuit, places for aquatic sports competitions –a unique option in South America— exhibition halls, theaters, squares with amphitheaters for open-air music shows and fabulous river-view halls.In Esperanza, 17 miles away from the city, the C.I.C.A.E. exhibition hall was built on an impressive 132ft building. It has three entrances and it is surrounded by a big green area: the ideal place to organize important events. Rosario, great economic and commercial center of Santa Fe, has a total of 25000 square meters in halls and hotels ideal for holding meetings, congresses and conventions. Among these we can find the Centro de Convenciones de la Bolsa de Comercio (Stock Exchange Convention Cen-ter) and the Centro de Convenciones Juan Domingo Perón –former Patio de la Madera— (Juan Domingo Perón Con-vention Center).Another option is the Casino City Center, the biggest place for meetings and entertainment in Latin America.The future complex Puerto de la Música (Port of Music) will definitely make the city a reference point for cultur-al events. It has and auditorium, a school of music and

concert halls, and it will have a covered surface of 20.000 square meters and an external surface area of 50.000 square meters.Due to the fact that Rosario has a good infrastructure, it provides easy and quick access to the city and it offers a wide variety of attractions, it has become a perfect center to hold all kind of events.

MisionesYou’ll be dazzled by the Province of Misiones’ most re-nowned tourist attractions: Iguazú Falls, the Guaraní-Je-suit Settlements, the semi-precious stone mines of Wanda and the Saltos del Moconá (Moconá Falls). Its capital city, Posadas, has more than 2300 hotel beds to please both the pleasure traveler and the business traveler. The city has an Events and Convention center called Cen-tro de Convenciones y Eventos de la Provincia; it has a hall with a seating capacity of 560 and two more halls with a capacity for 90 people. It also offers a VIP room for private meetings completely suitable for handicapped people.It is also important to mention that Posadas has a park of 29 hectares specially designed to hold open-air fairs and events in contact with the luxuriant vegetation that only the province of Misiones could offer.Big rivers surround the curved red-soil, the untouched forest, the semi-precious stones and the impressive falls; Puerto I–guazú is located in the wonderful paradise drawn by the Iguazú Falls. The city has big hotels (4 and 5-star hotels) special-

AT&B | 34

ly equipped for the organization of important business events; large halls, excellent service and trained profes-sionals constitute an unforgettable scenario for your busi-ness trip.

Paraná and CorrientesEven though Paraná city does not have a place for con-ventions and meetings, it is important to mention that it is the ideal place to carry out job activities in a relaxed at-mosphere surrounded by beautiful landscapes. Historical and Cultural tourism, golf tourism and business tourism, are the most relevant travel-related products the city of-fers. Paraná –as well as the city of Victoria— is positioning

itself as important destination for business tourism due to its endless amount of activities, good connectivity, infra-structure and professionals.The province of Corrientes does not have meeting centers but it does offer several proposals.

19th century castles, big mansions filled with history, modern huts with state-of-the-art accessories, among others.All these places are waiting for you to make you experi-ence the life of a rural worker, to ride a horse, to watch livestock management or sheep shearing and to make cook your own bread and cheese for breakfast.
