The launch will be carried out by the Chamber of Tourism and the Ministry of the area will be in charge of the implementation and dissemination of the benefit valid for residents in Argentina who make their purchase before Thursday the 20th.
The offers include services such as accommodation, travel agencies, gastronomy and excursions.
In dialogue with EL LIBERTADOR, Alejandra Boloqui, president of the Corrientes Chamber of Tourism explained what it is about.
«The program was an initiative of the Chamber of Tourism of the Province where several businessmen considered it important in this economic moment that exists in our country to contribute with discounts on different activities. We raised it with the provincial government so that they could help us with the dissemination and assembly,” he explained.
From this he stated that through the page currents.tour.ar, there is a link to the catalog of offers and also from the Ministry of Tourism of the Nation on the page argentina.gob.ar.
To which he added that: «We start in the month of May. For June we continue with discounts for early reservations until June 20 so that trips are made in June and in some cases they also include winter holidays or subsequent months.
“The idea is that this is a continuous program so that we can continue offering these types of discounts so that more Argentines can enjoy the experiences throughout the province of Corrientes,” he noted.
He explained that destinations are offered such as the Iberá estuaries, Bella Vista beach with the ravines; different activities also in Paso de la Patria, among others.
Meanwhile, the sale will be carried out with the advance payment method and the discount will be informed and granted by each tourist provider. Once the contract is made, the user will use the service on the agreed date.
In Corrientes you can enjoy nature, get to know the Iberá estuaries, do religious, historical, rural tourism, taste the representative local cuisine, fish, and go hiking and horseback riding.

«This is complemented by the simple installment programs where any Argentina who goes to a travel agency or directly to the accommodation can pay by card in up to 12 installments and in turn those who have a Banco de Corrientes card will be able to access a 10 percent additional percent in those establishments attached to the bank,” he added.
«A line of credit is offered both for Corrientes who want to travel to other provinces and for Argentines who want to come to visit Corrientes with a subsidized rate, which means that it is lower than the usual rate and that allows one to also enjoy that trip and pay it in installments.

Little sale for the end
long week
From one of the ticket offices that sells tickets for medium and long distance trips, they confirmed that there were very few sales for this long weekend. The seller pointed out that there is a difference compared to last year and considered that the drop could occur because it coincides with Father’s Day.
