The City of Córdoba reports a 71% hotel reservation rate ahead of the match between Los Pumas and the All Blacks on Saturday the 16th. The expectation is to reach full occupancy by the weekend, boosting tourism and commercial activity. The match will be played at 6:30 p.m. at the Mario Alberto Kempes Stadium.
The Argentine national rugby team hasn't played in the city for 11 years, which guarantees a large influx of fans. The economic impact benefits hotels, restaurants, and businesses, with activity further strengthened by other cultural events. These events demonstrate the value of private initiative in sports promotion.
Local authorities emphasized that national macroeconomic stability is key to sustaining tourism flow. Visitor spending translates into employment and regional development, strengthening Córdoba's economy. The event reaffirms the importance of policies that encourage private investment in sports.
Cultural and tourism offerings
Meanwhile, alongside the sporting event, Córdoba is hosting cultural activities that expand the offerings for visitors. The Teatro Libertador General San Martín will present the play "Cyrano," starring Gabriel "Puma" Goity.
The city will also host the 32nd edition of ACME, the largest collectors' exhibition in Argentina. It is being held at the Museo de la Industria with an exhibition of historical pieces until 8:00 p.m. Tickets cost $3,000 for adults and $2,000 for minors and retirees.
