The province of Salta has introduced the ‘PreSalta’ program as part of the ‘Impulso Salta’ initiative to boost local tourism competitiveness. 

Presented by Minister of Tourism and Sports Manuela Arancibia and Governor Gustavo Sáenz, the program offers tourists a reimbursement of up to $150,000 per person for summer vacations scheduled between January 4 and March 5, 2027. The benefit functions as a 50% refund on eligible advance purchases, provided as tourism credit to be used during the stay for expenses such as gastronomy, excursions, and wineries. To reach the maximum credit amount, travelers must make eligible purchases totaling $300,000. The broader ‘Impulso Salta’ initiative is designed to strengthen the provincial tourism sector through infrastructure improvements, marketing, and demand incentives.
