Chilean tourism boosted by proposal to reimburse VAT to foreign tourists

15-04-24

The Chilean Government has presented this Thursday an ambitious Bill of Measures for the Reactivation of Tourism, designed to revitalize and stimulate the country's tourism sector after the challenges imposed by the pandemic. Among the most noteworthy measures is the proposal to refund Value Added Tax (VAT) to foreign tourists on purchases of goods made during their stay.

In addition to the VAT refund on purchases, the project includes similar incentives for the production of foreign audiovisual projects in Chile, seeking to turn the country into an attractive center of international production. This initiative not only seeks to increase direct tourism, but also to boost Chile's image worldwide through its presence in various international media and platforms.
