The EMCONTUR Board of Directors, with the presence of the NEA Region coordinator of FEHGRA (Hotel and Gastronomic Business Federation of the Argentine Republic), Leandro Lapiduz, held an extraordinary meeting this Monday at the Convention Center.
During the meeting, progress was addressed towards an ordinance to regulate the activity of temporary tourist accommodation rentals in Concordia. This measure aims to guarantee the quality and safety of the services offered to visitors, while at the same time promoting compliance with tax and labor regulations.
It should be noted that the meeting continued the encounter held days ago at the headquarters of the Hotel and Gastronomic Business Federation of the Argentine Republic (FEHGRA), in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, where public and private sector authorities from Concordia were received by the entity's president, Fernando Desbots, and the director of informality, Silvina Ripke, with the objective of jointly addressing the issue of informality in tourist accommodation, a situation that directly affects the competitiveness of the destination.
As part of the analysis, regulatory experiences implemented in different cities of the country that already have regulations on this matter were taken as a reference. The objective is to build a proposal that adapts to the local reality, taking examples that have proven effective in other tourist destinations to ensure a viable and balanced implementation.
In this framework, the Undersecretariat of Tourism of the Municipality of Concordia and EMCONTUR ratified their decision to advance in a regulation process adapted to the local reality, with the objective of promoting a fair scenario for all actors in the sector. In that line, work continues in an articulated manner to consolidate a sustainable, responsible, and transparent tourism model in Concordia.
