In early September 2026, the Argentine province of Entre Ríos promoted its thermal and nature tourism at an international fair in Montevideo, Uruguay. Simultaneously, Tierra del Fuego held workshops to strengthen rural community tourism through participatory planning and local management training. By September 8, 2026, the focus expanded to international cooperation between the Uruguayan Department of Colonia and the Argentine Province of Santa Fe. This bilateral project, scheduled to run until October 2027, aims to integrate agro-food tourism and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) tourism. The partnership involves Santa Fe adopting Colonia’s ‘Cheese Route’ model while Colonia utilizes Santa Fe’s expertise in large-scale event management. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-08: Colonia and Santa Fe launch bilateral tourism cooperation project Colonia, Uruguay, and Santa Fe, Argentina, are partnering on a bilateral project to develop agro-food and MICE tourism, exchanging expertise in cheese production routes and large-scale event management. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/colonia-and-santa-fe-launch-bilateral-tourism-cooperation-project ### 2026-09-06: Entre Ríos and Tierra del Fuego advance regional tourism initiatives Entre Ríos promoted its tourism offerings at the Turismo 360 fair in Montevideo, while Tierra del Fuego held workshops to strengthen community rural tourism in Río Grande and Tolhuin. 11 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/infuetur-hosts-2nd-rural-community-tourism-workshop-in-tierra-del-fuego --- Cite as: Argentina and Uruguay regional tourism development.
