During August 6, 7, and 8, the destination Concordia participated in the most important meeting for meetings and events tourism in the country.
Concordia presented itself as an Event Host Destination with the team from the Undersecretariat of Tourism and EMCONTUR at the Buenos Aires City Convention Center, at the industry's most important meeting.
There, meetings were held with key players in the meetings industry, a space for host destinations, organizers, service providers, and clients to create new links and business opportunities that allow for strengthening ties and creating new ones.
During these three days, the destination Concordia debated with industry leaders the present and future of the activity, giving a voice to its protagonists. Especially on the first day, the destination participated in training sessions called Skill Up, as this is considered a priority segment by the public administration, which demands being updated and informed in an increasingly competitive market.
The 4th edition of the meeting featured more than 2,500 meetings, 180 exhibitors, 19 provinces, and invited buyers from 12 countries. In addition to Concordia, Entre Ríos had the presence of other destinations such as Paraná, Victoria, Gualeguaychú, Colón, Villa Elisa, and Concepción del Uruguay; hotels and thermal complexes also participated in the event.
It should be noted that the activity's representatives from the city of Concordia participated in business rounds with entrepreneurs from the sector and other national destinations, through booths, with the aim of offering the potential that the destination has for meetings and events tourism.
This presentation is part of the work being developed by the Undersecretariat of Tourism and EMCONTUR to position Concordia as an “Event and Meeting Host Destination,” working jointly between various municipal areas and event organizers, which will allow achieving the main benefits offered by this type of tourism, where we can highlight: encouraging the generation of activities all year round, mitigating tourist seasonality, job creation, increase in average tourist spending, economic impact on a wide value chain, and return to the destination with family or friends after the event, among others.
The large flow of attendees to congresses and fairs also seeks, in their free time, to get to know the city, its culture, its gastronomy, its customs, and its history. For that reason, the destination has the opportunity to make itself known, improving its positioning and competitiveness.
It is important to continue positioning ourselves as a tourist destination, planning and managing, not only in the meetings and events segment, since Concordia will have the new Comodoro Pierrestegui Airport in the coming months, and this historic event will open a range of opportunities for which it is essential to be prepared through articulation and coordination between the public and private sectors.
