In a few more days, the main guidelines of the fourth edition of the Previaje program
will be announced
, which returns
up to 70% of
tourist consumption in the form of
credit
, to be used in new tourist consumption.
Given that the plan would be announced this week,
Clarín
consulted sources from the Ministry of Tourism and Sports of the Nation, who confirmed that
the price agreement
between the State and the tourist providers will be signed shortly, although still without a defined date.
, to determine the
maximum rates
that member hotels may charge, which will depend -as in the last edition- on the category and location of each one.
“The date is not yet (for the launch of Previaje 4);
what will happen
in a few days
is the signing of the price agreement.
From that moment we will be able to communicate the provider registration schedule, the dates on which people will be able to buy, etc. ", they confirmed from the portfolio led by Minister Matías Lammens.

Another piece of information that came out, but was not officially confirmed, is that tourism agencies would also participate
in the new price agreement
, unlike the third edition of the Previaje (2022), when only hotels were part of it.
For this agreement, the prices established in 2022 will be taken as a basis, plus an update index that takes inflation into account.
Like what happened with the third edition, Previaje 4
will not accept payments in cash
, but only with cards, electronic wallets or bank transfers.
PAMI members get up to 70% of what they spend on tourism.
To travel all year
Previaje 4, it transpired, would add credit in tourist purchases -tickets, hotels, excursions, restaurants, etc.- that are made
between May and June
, while the credit obtained
could be used throughout the year
, unlike the 2022 edition , when it could only be used in the low season (October and November).
Regarding the amounts, while the top refund for Previaje 3 had been reduced from $100,000 to $70,000 per person, this year it would once again
be $100,000
, due to the rise in prices due to inflation.
As in the previous edition, you can only pay with cards, transfers or electronic wallet (not in cash)
In addition, the special benefit for retirees
will be maintained
, which will allow them to access a
total refund of 70%
of what they consume in tourist expenses.
And, as in previous editions, it will be possible to travel
to all destinations in the country
.
