“This is the tenth edition of Travel Sale, an event created by FAEVYT and promoted by Argentine travel and tourism companies to provide travelers with the best alternatives by integrating new technologies, interests and travel styles. It is not only a great advertising and communication window for travel agencies, but it has also become, edition after edition, one of the most eagerly awaited sale events. We are convinced that it will be a strong driver of this low season,” said Andrés Deyá, president of the Argentine Federation of Travel and Tourism Business Associations (FAEVYT).

Martín Romano, Treasurer of FAEVYT and coordinator of Travel Sale, said: “More than 250 travel and tourism companies have joined Travel Sale in these 9 years; each edition surprises us with a greater impact on sales, growth in enquiries and generation of new business opportunities. Without a doubt, this initiative by FAEVYT is already a registered trademark that generates great expectations both in companies and consumers.”

In 2023, the most sought-after domestic destinations were Bariloche, Mendoza and Buenos Aires, while internationally, Miami, Madrid and Rio de Janeiro stood out. In terms of services, those with the greatest interest were flights, packages and accommodations.
