The Tourist Incentive Pre-Travel Program will have a third part

The Secretary for Tourism Promotion, Yanina Martínez, said this Wednesday that the Ministry of Tourism and Sports is working "on the Pre-Travel 3 Program," with the focus on consensus and tourism investment, and "in order to convert it into law ».

In statements to Télam Radio, the national official assured that "Pre-Trip 3 was already being worked on, and we want it to be a consensual and important program in promotion, which is what this Program is about."

"He is also working on a tourism investment law so that the country can receive investments from other parts of the world, as well as from Argentine businessmen who can trust in tourism," he added.

Martínez, who returned from Madrid after participating in the International Tourism Fair (Fitur 2022) where the Pre-Travel Program was recognized with the Excellence award, highlighted "this tool that allowed the mobilization of 4.5 million Argentines and 99 billion pesos, a tremendous injection of private savings to the tourist activity”.

Likewise, he rescued the convergence between the different political perspectives on the benefits of the Program, "which gives it a transversality that crosses the different social classes and that received praise from Jujuy to Tierra del Fuego throughout the tourist and political arc."

"It is a great incentive to demand - he continued - that mobilizes private savings and generates mobility throughout the country" and that "was very good for the reactivation after the pandemic."

That, added to the vaccination plan that he described as "historic", and that made people "lose their fear and travel again, seeing tourism as a necessity and a sense of well-being."

Regarding the possibility of transforming the Program into a law, Martínez assured the Minister of Tourism and Sports, Matías Lammens, was working for that consolidation.

"Logically you have to see the situation and the times in which Argentina is experiencing, with some modifications to be made to further strengthen emerging destinations and that not only consumption occurs in destinations that are consolidated," he added.

Martínez said that "they come with a very federal vision having had the experience of this Pre-Trip 1 and 2", and that to establish it as a law they will work "with the governors, with all the tourist chambers, and that Congress can be established as a public policy with some readjustment».

The official positioned herself next to the report of the World Health Organization (WHO) that asks all States to open their borders.

In this sense, he said that "there is a need to take care of the economy and, in turn, the mental health of many people in the world, and that is what we have to work on now."
