The Government of Argentina amended the National Tourism Law to promote the free development of the activity and the role of the State will focus on promoting investment in the tourism sector, without interference that alters the rules of the play of the actors operates in the industry.
The national government amended the National Tourism Law 25.997 in order to eliminate state obstacles to the free development of tourism activity and focusing on the role of the State in promoting investment in the tourism sector, an important move for the country which is experiencing several reforms, initiatives and strategic plans to transfrom its institutional framework with notable efforts to improve its tourism sector consolidating itself as a global destination of excellence.
In the Official Gazette was published the Decree 216/2025 stating that the characteristics of tourism activity require that the National States organizes the resources and it links to its development with the ability to quickly respond to market changes and new environments and challenges that arise, while generating the conditions for the development of private sector initiatives without interferences that changes the rule of the actors.
With this move, in this context the Interministerial Committee on Tourism Facilitation, multi - ministerial body that aims to improve tourism development in Argentina by coordinating efforts across government agencies and the private sector is dissolved and the functions attributed to the Ministry of Tourism, Environment and Sports in relation to the planning and programming of the sector, financing and subsidies to provinces, training strategies and administration of tourism infrastructure are abolished.
From this decree, the responsibilities directly linked to the disbursement of resources for the incentive to tourism and the Social Tourism Plan are eliminated, while the National Tourism Investment Program is eliminated.
The Minister of Deregulation and State Transformation Federico Sturzenegger said that the changes introduced to the National Tourism Law 25.997 focus on the of the State in the promotion and marketing of the country and the tourism of Argentina, but eliminates the power of the State to plan the sector or grant subsidies or discretionary training.
In addition it is not the function of the National Government to decide which regions or tourism sectors of a province should be developed, much less to impose centralized criteria on the training of providers when today the tourist experience is largely experiential and has infinite edges, and the growth of tourism must respond to the initiative of its own actors, without inconvenience or state conditioning.
The Minister of Deregulation and State Transformation added that for an economic system to work, the State and the private sector have to understand their roles but unfortunately in recent years the State has gotten involved in doing things in the private setor, distorting and hindering the market.
A good management of tourism is to eliminate the obstacles that Argentine tourism entrepreneurs have to operate, to see what things hinder connectivity or make the resources they need to work expensive, and not to get involved in what they should do.
