Visit Argentina

What Visit Argentina does

Visit Argentina is the official national tourism promotion platform of Argentina, operated by the Instituto Nacional de Promoción Turística (INPROTUR) under the country's Ministry of Tourism and Sports. It serves international leisure tourists, travel-trade professionals, and media as a centralized digital gateway for Argentine destination information, covering 6 geographic regions, 11 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, 25 natural routes, and curated enotourism (wine tourism) content. The platform distributes content in multiple languages via argentina.travel and a dedicated press portal.

The platform's technology stack comprises a multi-product digital portal: a generative-AI Trip Planner that produces personalized itinerary recommendations, an interactive activity and winery discovery module (República del Vino), B2B Trade Tools including webinars and training resources, a Press and Media Center, and a Progressive Web App (PWA) with user favorites. Underlying the consumer surface is the YVERA Tourism Innovation and Intelligence Platform, an API through which partner websites syndicate official Argentine tourism content. The platform does not sell products or charge user fees.

Visit Argentina operates as a publicly funded tourism promotion body with approximately 20 employees, financed through public budget allocations rather than commercial revenue. Its go-to-market is event-driven: presence at international trade fairs (ITB Berlin, WTM Latin America, FITUR, OTM India, ANATO Colombia), B2B workshops in Frankfurt and Amsterdam, global digital campaigns including the "Freedom Lives Here" series (first spot exceeded 185 million views), social media, embassy-network distribution, and content syndication via the YVERA API. Partnerships span UNESCO, Great Wine Capitals, and commercial discussions with Lufthansa.
