Concordia experienced a new significant tourist movement during the long weekend of October 12, Day of Respect for Cultural Diversity, reaching 75% hotel occupancy, according to data collected by the Tourism Observatory of the Undersecretariat of Tourism of the Municipality of Concordia.
The average stay was two overnight nights and the average daily expenditure per tourist reached $93,208. The tourist areas, both north and center of the city, presented positive occupancy levels. In this sense, the benefits and promotions of the Concorpass program acted as a key incentive to strengthen demand, contributing to the city recording an occupancy rate higher than the provincial average.
Among the proposals most demanded by tourists, sport fishing on the coast of the Uruguay River, the three thermal complexes, family walks along the Costanera, and guided tours to historical and natural spaces stood out.
The city also offered a wide agenda of cultural, recreational, and historical proposals that included special activities, such as “Yo Disfruto Concordia” at the Naranjal de Pereda Historical Site and its traditional guided tours, guided tours to the Castillo San Carlos, the Oktoberfest which included the Tourist Bus, and the Mother's Day Expo, both events in the Parque Central Viñedos Moulins area.
Also protagonists were the tours to the Salto Grande Hydroelectric Complex and navigation on the Salto Grande Lake, field day activities such as horseback riding and hiking, wine tourism experiences, and, of course, visits to local museums, always present among the options chosen by visitors.
These aforementioned recreational activities are in line with the data provided last Friday to the Argentine Confederation of Medium-Sized Enterprises (CAME), in accordance with the established methodology that requests information prior to the first day of effective overnight stay.
TOURISM OVERSIGHT AND QUALITY
In line with strengthening the formal offer and tourism quality in Concordia, the Oversight team of the Secretariat of Tourism of Entre Ríos will be in the city from Wednesday, October 15 to Friday, October 17, carrying out inspections and processes for the homologation and re-categorization of accommodations.
It is estimated that after this visit, around 700 beds, between new and re-categorized, will reinforce the city's formal offer.
CONCORDIA, PILOT DESTINATION OF THE TOURISM ECONOMIC OBSERVATORY
Since September, Concordia has been participating in the pilot test of the Tourism Economic Observatory of Entre Ríos, promoted by the Secretariat of Tourism of the Government of Entre Ríos, the consulting firm Metrix, and funded by the Federal Council of Investments (CFI). The project seeks to develop studies on demand, consumption basket, and tourism supply, integrating nine provincial destinations: Paraná, Concordia, Federación, Colón, among others.
These actions reinforce the positioning of Concordia as an integral destination, within the framework of the binational region of Salto Grande, and reflect the constant work of the Undersecretariat of Tourism and the Mixed Concordiense Tourism Entity (EMCONTUR) in the promotion and development of local tourism activity.
