It was drafted around five thematic axes: Governance, Innovation, Technology, Sustainability, and Accessibility.
The presentation of the 2025–2030 Sustainable Tourism Strategic Plan was held, developed through a participatory process carried out between May and October, which integrated contributions from various actors in the tourism sector.
The Plan arises from the joint work between the Undersecretariat of Tourism of the Municipality of Concordia, the Mixed Entity of Tourism of Concordia (EMCONTUR), and the Faculty of Administration Sciences of the UNER (FCAD).
In this sense, it proposes a common vision for local tourism development and marks a new stage of professional planning based on the Smart Tourist Destinations (DTI) approach, organized into five axes of the SEGITTUR model and the IRAM 42101:2022 Standard: Governance, Innovation, Technology, Sustainability, and Accessibility.
The presentation was led by mayor Francisco Azcué; vice-mayor Magdalena Reta de Urquiza; the executive president of EMCONTUR Laureano Schvartzman; the Secretary of University Extension of the FCAD–UNER, Pamela Velich; the director of the Tourism Degree, Lucila Salessi; as well as members of EMCONTUR, the Concordia Bureau, and representatives from the academic field.
MATURITY
In this regard, mayor Francisco Azcué commented that “this plan first required maturity to be able to sit down among many actors from the public sector, the private sector, and academia to strengthen that virtuous triangle,” he valued.
Along those lines, Azcué emphasized that “for things to improve, we have to understand that we must work. If we want to live better, have a better quality of life, and for this city to take off and stand up, we must continue working together.”
For her part, vice-mayor Magdalena Reta de Urquiza stressed: “It is very important and significant for us to have a strategic plan, since strengthening tourism will have a strong impact on the city's development. In that sense, it is key to invest and use resources properly and responsibly.”
Finally, the president of EMCONTUR Laureano Schvartzman maintained that “Concordia did not have a strategic tourism plan and we consider that it can be a fundamental tool for the destination's tourism development,” which is why “we decided to develop a plan, thinking in terms that exceed political timelines and is the result of a participatory planning process between the public, private, and academic sectors, and also from the citizen's point of view” and “because we know how much tourism can contribute to improving people's quality of life and that is one of our main motivations.”
ABOUT THE PLAN
The development process included participatory instances in May, August, and October, where a comprehensive diagnosis and strategic planning built through consensus among public, private, and academic organizations were consolidated. Soon, the Plan will be available on the Tourism website in a special section, with free access for the entire community.
This collective commitment not only strengthened the quality of the Plan, but also reaffirms the importance of collaborative work to consolidate the tourism development of Concordia with a professional, participatory, and sustainable vision.
