In this sense, he indicated that Infuetur is working hard to promote the destination through the winter centers and all the activities offered by each one.
"Since the beginning of the year we have begun to work on the dissemination of our winter season, promoting the offer of the destination in a presentation that took place in May in Buenos Aires where the aim was to attract new agencies that sell the destination and strengthen new products in the operators that already work with the End of the World destination,” he assured.
In addition, Querciali indicated that “there was strong communication about the National Winter Festival where we begin the ice and snow season with a whole week of activities together with winter centers and providers, the central event being July 9 with multiple activities and the traditional torch lowering at Cerro Castor, who also celebrate their 25th anniversary this year, which is why it is an additional addition to this celebration.”
“The National Winter Festival was declared of national interest by the Ministry of Tourism and Sports of the Nation, which gives a special imprint to this event and is scheduled so that travelers take this event into account when planning their trip. . In the case of residents, the torchlight descent has become a family gathering where they can enjoy the snow, ice and the different proposals that we organize together with Cerro Castor and the three municipalities of Ushuaia, Tolhuin and Río Grande," explained the official.
It is important to highlight that the activities will take place from July 4 to July 12 with the Ice Sculpture Festival in Tolhuin. For more information, we invite you to visit the renewed promotional website www.findelmundo.tur.ar in its Winter format with a special section of the National Winter Festival where you can find the history of this celebration, discounts for residents, the planned activities and the transfer with a differential rate.
To conclude, the President of the Institute extended the invitation to the entire community of Tierra del Fuego to participate in the different proposals to celebrate winter and accompany the torchlight lowering on July 9 at Cerro Castor starting at 1 p.m.
