Argentina Sets Three 2026 Tourism Non-Working Days to Create Extra Long Weekends

Published by Resolution 164/2025 under Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni, the move takes effect tomorrow to spur domestic travel.

Overview

  • The government named Monday March 23, Friday July 10 and Monday December 7, 2026 as non-working days with tourist purposes.
  • The decision was issued in the Boletín Oficial through Resolution 164/2025 signed by Manuel Adorni, with validity starting the day after publication.
  • Under Law No. 27.399, the Executive can set up to three Monday-or-Friday dates each year to reduce tourism seasonality and support regional economies.
  • Each date couples with a fixed holiday to form four-day breaks: March 23 with March 24, July 10 with July 9, and December 7 with December 8.
  • Unlike national holidays, private employers may require work at normal pay, while public administration and schools typically observe the days off, and tourism operators are already planning promotions, with Mar del Plata hoteliers calling the calendar favorable.
