In the 2025 edition, the contest distinguished three winners and presented four special mentions. “Turista en mi Ciudad” seeks, through art and the young perspective, to promote tourism awareness among fourth-year high school students in Concordia, strengthening the bond between education, culture, and local tourism development.
Within the framework of “World Tourism Day,” which is celebrated every September 27th and whose theme this year, according to the UN, is "Tourism and Green Investments," this initiative is carried out by the Undersecretariat of Tourism —under the Municipal Secretariat of Productive Development— together with the Mixed Tourism Entity of Concordia (EMCONTUR) and the Departmental Directorate of Schools, with the support of the Hotel and Gastronomic Association of Concordia (AHGC). It should be noted that Concordia is the only city in Entre Ríos to promote two proposals that seek to contribute to tourism awareness, the aforementioned program and "Explorá Concordia," as public policies sustained and framed within one of the strategic axes of public management: promoting a culture of tourism quality based on knowledge, commitment, and a sense of community belonging.
