The city of Concordia concluded its participation in the Latin American International Tourism Fair with a very positive experience. During the four days, the enormous showcase was used to promote its tourist attractions, activities, and local products to thousands of visitors and tourism professionals from all over the world.
In its two stands, both in the Salto Grande Region one, which was the only binational one at said event, as well as in the Litoral Region one, Concordia stood out for the dissemination and promotion of its tourist offer. Among its main attractions, local gastronomy occupied a special place, with live culinary demonstrations of typical dishes and tastings of drinks made with native flavors, wines from regional grape varieties, the presentation of the local carnival in full rhythm, and shows of Litoral music.
Furthermore, emphasis was placed on the diversity of experiences that Concordia offers, from thermal parks and historical landscapes to recreational sports and a varied agenda of national, provincial, and local events and festivals, with the presence of its ambassadors.
