On Tuesday the 24th, the “Transforming Challenges into Opportunities” conference was presented, featuring an unprecedented collaboration between the Undersecretariat of Tourism, EMCONTUR, INTA, and the Faculty of Administration Sciences - UNER.
With more than 50 attendees, framed within the International Tourism Day to be celebrated on Friday, September 27, the meeting focused on three fundamental axes for the projection of local tourism.
Present at the opening ceremony were the Vice Mayor, Magdalena Reta de Urquiza; the Secretary of Productive Development, Federico Schattenhofer; the Undersecretary of Tourism and Executive President of EMCONTUR, Laureano Schvartzman; the Director of the Concordia Agricultural Experimental Station of INTA, Javier Oberschelp; the Secretary of University Extension of the Faculty of Administration Sciences UNER, Pamela Velich; and the President of ACTITUR and member of EMCONTUR, Guillermo Benítez.
The extensive conference began with moderation by INTA Concordia. In this axis, two success stories were presented: Establecimiento La Angélica, led by Martín Campopiano, and Bodega Siandra Hermanos, led by Edgardo and Iván Siandra. This topic was framed within the work that has been promoted since the beginning of the administration through the consolidation of an inter-municipal board to work comprehensively on rural tourism in the Concordia Department. In this sense, the conference also included the participation of regional entrepreneurs who exhibited and offered tastings of their products to the public.
The second panel, focusing on urban tourism, began with a presentation by Horacio Elgorriaga, co-founder of AANBA, in the context of the declaration of Concordia as the first city in Mesopotamia to be part of the Argentine Art Nouveau Route. Subsequently, the Undersecretary of Tourism spoke about the revitalization of urban spaces through cultural and natural heritage, in the context of the regional identity workshop held months ago, which highlighted locations of interest such as the Parque Central Viñedos Moulins and the Naranjal de Pereda.
The training concluded with a virtual conference by Pablo Singerman and Pablo Sismanian, leaders in Meetings and Events Tourism, following the project that the Undersecretary of Tourism and EMCONTUR are promoting to work on the city's unified events calendar, governed by Municipal Ordinance 35,967.
Each conference allowed for an enriching exchange to continue the joint work between the public, private, and academic sectors.
