The next time you’re in Argentina’s capital, here’s where—and what—to eat.
Travelers have long raved about Buenos Aires’s roster of European cafes and traditional parrillas, the latter of which serves some of the best steaks in the world. But until recently, there wasn’t much culinary diversity to speak of in this otherwise cosmopolitan destination.
In recent years, however, a new generation of restaurants offering flavors from Asia, the Middle East, and various corners of Latin America have added a hearty dose of multiculturalism to the city’s food scene; and local chefs are increasingly showcasing overlooked homegrown ingredients, redefining Argentine cuisine along the way. Adventurous eaters rejoice.
21% VAT will be reimbursed to foreign visitors on hotel rates in Argentina.
As from January 2, 2017, foreign tourists will be reimbursed the 21% VAT for accommodation. This measure aims at a greater flow of travelers, greater income from foreign exchange and the creation of new jobs.
The estimated impact, after a year of application, is of 95 thousand new tourists, with an income of more than 70 million dollars, and is expected to generate almost 8 thousand new direct and indirect jobs.
“The legislation we are promoting includes all contracts in the area of accommodation of non-resident tourists and includes both direct purchases and via travel agencies. We aim that the entire chain of Argentine tourist value is competitive and of quality, “said Santos.
The VAT refund on accommodation services will be applied to people who can prove their residence abroad by means of their passport or ID card and who pay by a credit card issued abroad or a bank transfer originated outside the boundaries of Argentina.
The hotels and properties must be registered in the AFIP as accommodation services. And the agencies must also be registered and qualified by the National Tourism Ministry.
The VAT rebate proposes the regulation of a system which will improve competitiveness, as foreign tourists will automatically pay a lower rate for the accommodation service in Argentina.
Furthermore, this measure facilitates the inspection, since it is based on the use of electronic invoicing, facilitating the control of the sector by AFIP and covers the whole of the accommodation commercial chain and incorporates the direct purchase by the tourist.
The implementation was registered in the Resolucion Conjunta General 3971 of the Federal Public Revenue Administration and the National Ministry of Tourism.
Thanks to the support of the INPROTUR we are glad to share the success of a great event we organized last November at the Argentinean Embassy in the United Kingdom in London continuing the promotion of Argentina within the British market.
Special guests enjoyed a high-end variety of Argentinean wines of Salentein, Tempus Alba and Casa de Uco wineries, in combination with our traditional “empanadas” and a very intimate live tango performance.
Drone footage provides a unique perspective of the land around us. Our drones provide panoramic and sky-high views of your events and activities.
Drones have opened the world for adventure travelers who like to go to places that are not accessible to everyone.
Drones can capture images of these inaccessible places to give adventure travelers a better idea of the possible ways to explore a new region.
Drone Aerial Photography and Videography can now really show the leisure, travel and tourism industries from an exciting and affordable viewpoint, previously only available using expensive helicopter or manned aircraft shoots.
So let us take extraordinary aerial photos and video of the most memorable events for you.
We celebrated our 10th Anniversary with what we do best: an incentive trip! The whole INFOBA DMC Argentina team traveled to the province of Mendoza!
We enjoyed a beautiful weekend between wineries, mountains and friends. We tasted the best wines, created our own “blends”, drove classical cars, rode bikes through the vineyards and took a hike on the basis of Mount Aconcagua. We were filmed by drones, enjoyed Mendoza’s nightlife, and we even had a visit by our great liberator, General San Martin, so that Sergio could swear fidelity to our national flag!
We would like to thank all our customers, suppliers and friends who made it possible for us to be able to celebrate these incredible 10 years.
