The Secretary of Productive Development, Federico Schattenhofer, and the Undersecretary of Tourism, Laureano Schvartzman, participated in the awards ceremony for the 2024 Urban Tourism Awards, which recognizes excellence in the tourism sector, where Concordia was nominated in the State Agency category.
The nomination for Concordia represented a great source of pride and recognition for the effort made in the tourism field. The city competed with prominent national institutions, such as the Tourism Board of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, the National Undersecretariat of Tourism, the National Institute of Tourism Promotion (IMPROTUR), and the Federal Tourism Council, the latter being the winner.
Furthermore, during the ceremony at the iconic Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, the Secretary of Productive Development, Federico Schattenhofer, and the Undersecretary of Tourism, Laureano Schvartzman, received special recognition from the Art Nouveau Buenos Aires Association, highlighting Concordia as the new city to join the Argentine Art Nouveau Route, being the first in the Mesopotamia region. This recognition was granted for the valuable support provided to the institution and for the commitment to the protection and enhancement of its architectural and cultural heritage.
“We have received praise and recognition, but this is clearly due to the joint work with EMCONTUR (Concordia Mixed Tourism Board) and the dedication we are putting into positioning Concordia as an innovative tourist destination with a unique cultural offering.” Therefore, “we know we have a long way to go, and this motivates us to continue developing initiatives and programs that strengthen our identity and attract more visitors to our city,” stated Schvartzman.
In closing, the Secretary of Productive Development highlighted the support of the mayor Francisco Azcué, “who is always present and promoting the development and growth of this sector with the firm commitment to consolidate Concordia as a prominent destination both nationally and internationally,” concluded Federico Schattenhoffer.
