Governor Rogelio Frigerio announced this Thursday the call for tenders for the enhancement and future operation of the Hotel Ayuí in Concordia. In addition, an agreement was signed by which the existing furniture in the hotel will be donated to residences under the Provincial Council for Children, Adolescents and the Family (Copnaf) throughout the province.
There, the governor noted the importance of the complex, highlighting "its splendid past" and regretting that "populism abandoned it to its fate," and that it was occupied "by people who took advantage of public space."
"Surely, the private sector will also be able to continue improving it so that it returns to being what it once was: an emblem of tourism in Concordia. It is what we are doing and that is what we are working for," continued the leader, who was accompanied by the local mayor, Francisco Azcué; the Secretary General of the Government, Mauricio Colello, and the president of the Mixed Technical Commission (CTM) of Salto Grande, Alejandro Daneri,
For his part, the Secretary General of the Government, Mauricio Colello, highlighted that "the priority at the beginning of the administration was to organize what we found in a state of profound disorganization." In that vein, he highlighted that "the Las Palmeras campsite has already been recovered, where the enhancement work is progressing, and this hotel, which we hope will return to being the jewel it once was." Likewise, he mentioned the case of Tortuga Alegre, "on which the Prosecutor's Office is already working," he concluded.
The activity was also attended by the Ministers of Human Development, Verónica Berisso, and of Planning, Infrastructure and Services, Darío Schneider; the presidents of Copnaf, Clarisa Sack, and of the General Council of Education (CGE), Alicia Fregonese. Also participating for CTM were the vice president, Pedro Jorge Galimberti, and the Argentine delegate, Juan Carlos Chagas.
In turn, the president of CTM, Daneri, gave details about the bidding process and pointed out that the goal is "the recovery, the enhancement, and the tourist operation." He announced that the tender will be released next week, where "more details will be provided for whoever applies as its operator."
Meanwhile, Mayor Azcué recalled that the trajectory of the Hotel Ayuí reveals a lot, "it highlights the history of the city, it has many things in common because this was a jewel like Concordia, which was thriving, a land of progress, and populism with all its destructive practices left us with high poverty rates, among other things." In that sense, he referenced "maneuvers of all kinds and poor administrations." Finally, he remarked that with the governor "we are leaving all those practices behind, with an administration with efficiency, with honesty, and the results are already being seen."
The tender was published with the objective of fully recovering the hotel's facilities and developing a sustainable business model, oriented towards tourism and the holding of events. As reported, the award was set for November and it was estimated that the work would conclude during the first semester of 2026, at which time the establishment will be operational.
In parallel, the CTM, which manages the complex, signed a framework agreement with the Ministry of Human Development to donate the furniture currently existing in the hotel. That equipment was destined for the 34 residences under the Copnaf throughout the province. In this way, the project not only aimed to recover a historical heritage of Concordia and Entre Ríos, but also to generate an immediate social impact for the benefit of children and adolescents who live in provincial homes.
