Overview
- Resolution 164/2025, signed by Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni and published in the Boletín Oficial on December 26, makes the measure official and effective the following day.
- Designated dates for 2026 are Monday, March 23; Friday, July 10; and Monday, December 7 as non-working days for tourist purposes.
- The selected days adjoin existing holidays on March 24, July 9 and December 8, creating extended long weekends aimed at increasing trips and spending.
- These days are automatic time off for national public employees, while private-sector observance depends on each employer and work performed is paid at the normal rate.
- The government frames the policy as a tool to reduce seasonality and stimulate sectors such as hotels, restaurants and transport, with calendars now set for planning.
