Paraguay is implementing various strategies to bolster its tourism sector and international economic presence. Initial efforts focused on large-scale promotion at the Latin American International Tourism Fair (FIT 2026) in Buenos Aires, where the National Secretariat of Tourism (Senatur) sought to promote cultural and culinary identity to establish new commercial channels. During this period, interest in the Paraguayan market also emerged from the retail sector, with the Brazilian company Havan exploring potential operations in the country following meetings with Paraguayan authorities. Subsequent developments show a shift toward educational and regional promotional initiatives. The ‘Pequeños Turistas’ program, supported by Itaipu Binacional, the Development Bank of Latin America (CAF), and Senatur, has been utilized to teach students about natural and cultural heritage. The program recently concluded its 2026 cycle in Hernandarias, expanding its reach to include indigenous communities and students from various regional districts. Regional tourism promotion has intensified, particularly through the FITPAR 2026 International Tourism Fair in Asunción. Argentina continues its engagement via the Instituto Nacional de Promoción Turística (Inprotur) and the Visit Argentina program, with the Entre Ríos Mixed Tourism Entity (Emturer) conducting business rounds, workshops, and wine tastings to connect with Paraguayan wholesalers. Newer participation includes a delegation from the Chilean region of Tarapacá. Led by Sernatur Tarapacá, the Municipality of Iquique, and the Regional Government of Tarapacá, the group aims to establish commercial links between Asunción and Iquique, specifically leveraging opportunities provided by the Bioceanic Capricorn Road Corridor. Additionally, the Brazilian municipality of Matinhos remains active in its efforts to showcase updated tourism capacity to Paraguayan travel agents. Furthering regional integration, the Brazilian agency Viaje Paraná has targeted Paraguay as a strategic market, hosting a meeting in Asunción for 67 travel professionals.
