Argentina Sets Three 2026 Tourism Non-Working Days to Create Four-Day Weekends

Issued under Law 27.399, the measure is effective now, with observance automatic for national public employees.

Overview

  • Resolution 164/2025 was published in the Boletín Oficial on December 26 with Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni’s signature and takes effect the day after publication.
  • The designated dates are Monday March 23, Friday July 10 and Monday December 7, all classified as non-working days for tourism purposes.
  • Each date was placed next to a fixed holiday to form four-day breaks: March 23 with March 24, July 10 with July 9 and December 7 with December 8.
  • These are not statutory feriados; private employers decide whether to grant the day, and work performed on these dates does not carry the holiday pay premium.
  • The government says the long breaks are intended to stimulate domestic travel and ease seasonality for sectors such as lodging, dining and transport.
