With varied proposals and attractions, the city prepares to experience a full long weekend, which closes the summer season on a high note. With hotel reservations reaching 90%, which promises a weekend with great tourist movement, Concordia will offer different artistic shows and all the carnivals, which are added to the natural attractions of the city.
"We have a very good outlook, we worked a lot with the mayor Cresto and from Emcontur, to reinforce the promotion of Concordia as a destination to visit on this date, and everything indicates that it will be a successful weekend," noted the Secretary of Government and Tourism Alfredo Francolini. "In a way, this will help us to end the summer season on a high note and reinforce promotions towards Easter, which is the next important date on the tourist calendar that we have," he indicated.
This weekend, in addition to the characteristic attractions of the city, such as the renovated Salto Grande Lake, the Costanera and the Castillo San Carlos, the Carnival is the great draw, even more so taking into account the different proposals of this festival that Concordia offers. “In Concordia, all expressions of the carnival are present. It is a popular festival, which gives us identity and which we support from the Municipality because it means strengthening ties as a community, while at the same time they are proposals that become a tourist attraction," highlights the mayor Cresto.
