Foreign tourist can Fly for free to Cordoba!


 Yes, you read correctly, foreign tourists can fly for free to Cordoba !
 This announcement was made by the head of Cordoba Tourism, Gustavo Santos. It is the same benefit that the city of Mar del Plata is enjoying. Foreign tourism in Cordoba moves about $ 50 million a month.
Foreign tourists visiting Argentina, may travel free from Buenos Aires to Cordoba by Aerolineas Argentinas, a situation that will improve the flow of international visitors to the Mediterranean province, as announced by the private sector.
The news was announced yesterday by the chairman of the Cordoba Tourism Agency, Gustavo Santos, who said that the deal  would be sealed during the next few days in  Buenos Aires.
 Spokesmen for The Association of Travel Agents Cordoba (ACAV), and the Chamber of Tourism of Córdoba,  announced this morning  that  their optimism for future  developments involving the promotion for  tourism in the provinces looks promising.

"It's an interesting achievement, certainly very positive for Córdoba, because it enhances greatly the chances that visitors choose to spend a few days in the province," said Altamirano. However, he clarified that  this news  would not constitute a "zero tariff", but actually a discount of between 70 and 80% for domestic flights between Ezeiza, Aeroparque and Blanca Pajas Airports

Business expansion
One aspect to consider in this context is that international tourism over the years has become an important source of income for Córdoba, to the point that as of this year, around $ 50 million has been generated per  month.
According to the International Travel Survey (ETI) prepared by the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INDEC), between January and September in the province there were  1,114,258 overnight stays of foreign tourists, generating revenues of more than
 U.S.$ 112 million, representing about $ 450 million in nine months.

This certainly is great news for la  Provincia de Cordoba and of course,  for Alta Gracia!!
