Buenos Aires launches stopover program to boost tourism

Buenos Aires has introduced ‘Stopover Buenos Aires,’ a new initiative designed to encourage transit passengers to extend their stays in the city. Developed by Visit Buenos Aires in collaboration with Aerolíneas Argentinas, the program allows travelers to add 24, 48, or 72 hours to their itinerary.

To qualify, the journey must originate outside of Argentina, and the stopover must be at least 24 hours long. The program is applicable for tickets issued between October 2026 and March 31, 2027, with stays possible until April 30, 2027. Participants can access benefits in accommodation, gastronomy, cultural activities, and transfers through a dedicated platform.

The initiative is supported by local industry groups, including the Asociación Hotelera de Turismo de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires (AHT) and the Asociación de Hoteles, Restaurantes, Confiterías y Cafés (AHRCC), which aim to leverage the increased visitor flow to benefit the local tourism sector.
