During this Wednesday morning, the first “Concordia Destino Sede de Eventos” meeting was held: creation of the 2024-2025 calendar.
Representing Francisco Azcué, Vice Mayor Magdalena Reta de Urquiza was present, accompanied by the Secretary of Productive Development, Federico Schattenhofer; the Secretary of Human Development, Sebastián Arístide; the Undersecretary of Tourism, Laureano Schvartzman, council members, among other authorities. Event organizers from the city, members of the Concordia Conventions Bureau, and the Ente Mixto Concordiense de Turismo (EMCONTUR) also participated.
The objective is to finalize an annual planning of activities, conventions, cultural and sporting events related to the local tourism sector.
POSITIONING
The Undersecretary of Tourism, Laureano Schvartzman, explained that the action responds to a planning process “where we set as our main objective to position Concordia as a venue for events and meetings”.
In this sense, he highlighted that this segment “is a priority for the administration, seeking tourism development, but this requires working in a consensual manner between the public sector, the private sector, the academic sector, and different entities, and even event organizers”.
With the commissioning of the renovated local airport, “we must be prepared and minimize the low season, with an annual calendar to reposition ourselves in a key segment within global tourism,” the official highlighted.
The tool even contemplates showing proposals for 2025 “and why not perhaps look towards 2026, seeking, for example, that there is not so much overlap between events,” Schvartzman pointed out.
DEVELOPMENT AND JOB CREATION
In her welcoming remarks, Vice Mayor Magdalena Reta de Urquiza highlighted that the current administration has sought, from the beginning, “to give a very important boost to the development, growth, and job creation of Concordia” through tourism. “Six months into the administration, much progress has been made in many areas, but this is a very important one, where there have been many results”.
For his part, the Secretary of Productive Development, Federico Schattenhofer, celebrated the event and the creation of the 2024-2025 calendar, considering that “it will be a tool to professionalize management and the activity in general, and that will allow us all to be more productive,” he highlighted.
