The senator (s) of the Broad Front, former Undersecretary of Tourism, Benjamín Liberoff, requested information from the Ministry of Tourism (MINTUR), the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) and the Ministry of Environment (MA) to know the information that « it is refusing to provide with clarity and that the sector needs». He clarified that, in the case of the request to MINTUR, the same “is reiterated since Tourism did not answer the previous request for reports on May 9.”
According to UNDP – SINAE, “tourism in our country lost 2,800,000,000 (!) dollars during the COVID-19 crisis.” “Internal Tourism is a fundamental commitment to mitigate this impact, today exceptional support is required to support a vital sector for the country’s economy and so far no specific information has been provided on the support provided, only general formulations,” he said. .
To alleviate this situation, Liberoff proposes “the creation of an Emergency Fund of 50 million dollars, temporary until 2025, to boost domestic tourism, due to a regional macroeconomic context that will not change until the end of 2024, at least. Consequently: the Argentines will not arrive as they did and those two million visitors are not replaced from anywhere.
