The Argentine tourism sector is implementing various promotional and developmental initiatives. In Catamarca, local travel agencies and service providers are participating in the national ‘Travel Sale’ campaign to offer discounts on travel packages and excursions.

To further support regional growth, the province of Catamarca has secured an agreement with the Federal Council of Investments (CFI) for 450,000,000 pesos. These funds are designated to promote sustainable tourism and cultural industries, supporting events such as the National and International Poncho Festival. Additionally, the province has launched ‘Cultura Activa,’ a program designed to professionalize local artists through training workshops and technical resources.
