22-01-25

Argentina is preparing for an outstanding participation in the 45th edition of the International Tourism Trade Fair (FITUR), to be held January 22-26, 2025 at IFEMA Madrid. The national delegation will be headed by the Secretary of Tourism, Sports and Environment, Daniel Scioli, who will lead a delegation made up of representatives from 13 provinces, six chambers of the tourism sector and 57 executives from Argentine companies. 

Argentina's stand, with a surface area of almost 490 m², will serve as a platform to promote the country as a first-class international tourist destination. During the days dedicated to professionals, more than 40 co-exhibitors will present the diversity and richness of Argentina's tourism offerings. The weekend, intended for the general public, will feature an attractive agenda of cultural and promotional activities.

Participation in FITUR 2025 is taking place against a challenging economic backdrop for Argentina. According to data from the National Institute of Statistics and Census (INDEC), between January and October 2024, the country received 9.12 million tourists, representing a decrease of 11.41% compared to the 10.91 million recorded in the same period of 2023. This decline has generated a deficit in the tourism balance of US$3.939 billion.
