Scioli called on the tourism sector to lower prices

After the success of tourism in the last XXL weekend, which united the Easter holidays with the Day of the Veteran and the Fallen of the Malvinas War, the Secretary of Tourism, Environment and Sports, Daniel Scioli, asked the tourism sector to join the “readjustment” of prices and promotions with the aim of “making the hotel infrastructure even more accessible”. The bleak economic outlook that reflects an excessive increase in the prices of products on the shelves did not prevent the disproportionate success of the tourism sector during the last long weekend. Based on the good results, Scioli urged entrepreneurs in the sector to reduce prices, in order to achieve greater social inclusion. I call on the tourism sector to join the readjustment of prices and financing promotions that are being implemented in different sectors of the market,” he said through his official X account, citing the example of the Easter weekend. Along these lines, he highlighted the work of the Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo, and advocated for greater participation in the upcoming holidays. “Since the adhesion to Quota Simple, promoted by the Ministry of Economy and Luis Caputo, now convening private and public banks, to make even more accessible the wonderful hotel and gastronomic infrastructure and the renewed commercial air connectivity that we have in our country,” he said, and sentenced: “More tourism, more work, more foreign currency.” According to the government’s official website, the first four days of the long weekend saw an occupancy rate of more than 90% in different national destinations, reaching full occupancy in other regions. In this line, the Government highlights that the city of Tandil reached 98% occupancy with 10 thousand hotel beds, Mar del Plata was visited by more than 230 thousand people -the best long weekend after 30 years-, Cariló and Valeria del Mar -Pinamar District- registered 93% and 96% occupancy, and Villa Gesell, Mar Azul and Mar de las Pampas reached full occupancy.
