The Decalogues will be presented to our Congress under Law 24.747 as State Policies that will be maintained, whoever governs. Until then, they are under construction for the contribution of all compatriots with knowledge and concerns in this regard.
Decalogue for the development of the country based on tourism.
1. Tourism is an industry and must be productive and generate development and employment.
Therefore, Profitable, Employable and Sustainable Tourism (R.E.S.T.) is a state policy. From the state entities in charge of tourism development, the government will promote transparent and private tourism initiatives that are profitable, employment-oriented and sustainable.
It aims, among other objectives, to rule out initiatives that are not productive, that are not aimed at generating employment, foreign exchange and development. Understanding Argentina's resources, the causes of tourism, the different types of tourists, the strong post-crisis rebounds of this industry around the world and other trends that shape tourism, based on this premise, initiatives that are unprofitable, unstrategic, inflationary, unnecessary or non-priority (such as incentives for destinations that are not even emerging or emerging or for destinations that are not even emerging) would be banned, unnecessary or non-priority initiatives (such as incentives for destinations that are not even emerging or the Pre-Trip Plans - since tourism has recovered rapidly throughout the world without the need to waste so many resources on middle and upper class individuals who would have travelled the same way) would be banned, and the focus would be on strategically planned initiatives that generate development. Welfare initiatives should be evaluated by state bodies in charge of welfare, such as the Ministry of Social Action.
2. Centralise and simplify procedures and authorisations, eliminating all bureaucratic obstacles, encouraging investment and the development of quality tourism ventures, while controlling and prohibiting access to the market of non-authorised offers.
This includes the various provincial requirements, which often contradict national requirements, plus municipal requirements that complicate operations particularly for the tourist transport system (especially small ones), the formation of travel agencies, the work of independent travel agents, etc. While simplifying procedures and day-to-day operations, unfair/unfair competition is eliminated.
3. National plan for concessions that add value to natural resources and generate income for their conservation.
According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), tourism resources (RRTT) are made up of natural and cultural resources. Argentina is one of the countries with the highest number of RRTT in the world, but with the exception of the C.A.B.A., RRTT in Argentina are almost exclusively made up of natural resources. NRNR per se generate very little income. Private investment should be encouraged to develop leisure and cultural activities that generate employment and foreign exchange, based on the wonderful natural resources that Argentina possesses, controlled under strict design and sustainability standards.
4. Internationally position the Argentina Country Brand associated with tourism of sustainable entertainment activities with high added value, placing value on natural diversity, local development and seeking to attract the high purchasing power segment.
Unlike past attempts to position Argentina as a nature destination with bad methods and without a strategy, given that nature without value-added activities does not generate income or employment, this goal aims to encourage the development of this type of activities aimed at positioning Argentina as a leisure destination - with incredible nature. E.g.: Australia, New Zealand, United States, Mexico, Ecuador.
5. Grant tax benefits for projects.
Aligned with point 4) and aiming at one or more of the following: A) the conservation and restoration of ecosystems, B) the generation of economic resources for the management of natural protected areas (SDG 14 and 15), C) high quality tourism infrastructure developed according to sustainable principles (SDG 12 and 13), D) projects that work within a circular economy model generating genuine local development in remote areas, E) those that rescue and enhance agri-food diversity and F) accessible tourism, through adaptations to facilitate tourism for people with reduced capacities.
6. Prioritise proposals, provinces and regions that professionally demonstrate the greatest tourism potential to generate employment and income.
Put an end to the policy of the "Tourist Mix". The policy of trying to promote the country with all the proposals uploaded to a fair, brochure, website, etc. is totally counterproductive for the country. The correct positioning of a country or region is achieved by communicating a congruent and strategic "selection" of proposals, attributes and itineraries. Very few communication axes, but powerful ones.
7. Promote the design, development and commercialisation of products that promote a healthy lifestyle, that recover ancestral knowledge and increase biodiversity, benefiting both the
visitors and the regional production system.
8. Promote the design, development and implementation of technology applied to tourism, especially and strategically aimed at the entertainment of tourists.
9. Provide adequate, timely and up-to-date training and education at all levels.
Encourage and facilitate training for new jobs and entrepreneurship. Tourism is one of the industries that provides the most training to its employees and generates employment with the widest range of skills, allowing less favoured segments to enter the labour market.
10. Establish maximum carrying capacity for large tourist centres in peak seasons to avoid deterioration from the impact of mass tourism and spill-over to smaller destinations in the region.
11. Open skies and land borders for tourism.
Entering into bi-national agreements with core tourist countries of the continent, unifying quality and safety standards. Guarantee permanent and uninterrupted direct air connectivity between the country's four tourist regions.
12. Integrate the skills required by the tourism industry into national and provincial education plans.
Adapt tourism curricula to develop products that satisfy a high purchasing power demand and international quality standards, including, among others, more and better business content, marketing, international positioning and development of sustainable tourism destinations.
13. National Plan for Safety, Rescue and Health in Remote Areas to enable the development of value-added adventure activities and at the same time benefit local people.
One of the impediments for private companies to develop quality trekking, kayaking or similar products is the lack of a coordinated rescue and emergency system. This, added to a legislation where the operator is criminally liable in case of an incident (therefore, there is no insurance) and in this country there is no liability waiver (as in Chile, USA or New Zealand), means that private companies do not want to operate certain activities because the risk is too high and, in case of the need for a helicopter, light aircraft or rescue quad, there is nothing. If there were for tourists, it would also be useful for locals. Because of this combination of factors, many remote activities work for the backpacker tourist.
who do not spend and do not tend to make a judgement) and not for a tourist who in other countries spends much more than here. These tourists, in addition to good services, want security guarantees such as, for example, those of Global Rescue or RipCord.
Verifiable objectives.
- Value of the real dollar, equivalent to the blue dollar, for foreign tourists' expenditures.
- Pass legislation during 2024 that promotes a sustained level of investment in tourism to add value (mainly in expensive entertainment activities) to natural tourism resources.
- Pass a law that applies a considerable sentence increase to anyone who commits a crime against foreigners who are tourists in Argentina (verifiable by hotel reservations and excursions).
- Enable access to a 5G computer network for the entire Argentinean population.
- Transparency and the elimination of privileges in tourism concessions, licences and permits.
- Form a Group of Multidisciplinary Experts on High Value Inbound Tourism (GEMTRAV), which in these times of crisis could ideally work ad honorem, among other functions, to consolidate the generation of an attractive tourism Country Brand for international families seeking and consuming services and activities of high value-added tourism entertainment and healthy products in the world.
- The "GEMTRAV" should also propose a minimum tourism infrastructure plan (feasible for the country's crisis situation), supervise its implementation and be an advisory body for any other tourism infrastructure work carried out in the country with public money.
- Generation of one million new jobs related to the implementation of a strategic plan aimed at developing Profitable, Employable and Sustainable Tourism.
- Produce the largest increase in foreign exchange earnings from tourism in decades. Double-digit growth in dollar spending by foreign tourists in Argentina.
- Double the foreign exchange income from foreign tourism (base 2019), reaching 10 billion dollars in 4 years from the approval of objectives 1) to 4). 11) Argentina 0 Carbon by 2050.
