The Mar del Plata Convention & Visitors Bureau was founded in 1996. It was the first bureau in Argentina, a private non-profit civil association comprised of businesses and professionals related to the local meetings industry and economic activity. Its members boast the facilities and human resources which guarantee quality services for the success of any event: congresses, conventions, syposiums, governmental meetings, incentive trips, fairs, exhibitions, sports events, etc.

The bureau offers institutional support, brings concrete benefits and gives meeting planners advice on planning events in Mar del Plata. It is an institution which becomes an strategic ally of event organisers and associations, connecting the different local providers and activating partnership mechanisms and operational synergy to optimize outcomes and to guarantee the success of any event.

The organization aims at promoting the city as an ideal destination to hold congresses, conventions, fairs and exhibitions and positioning Mar del Plata among the best destinations in the country because of the number of events and the number of visitors and their satisfaction.

The bureau also aims at boosting the number of exhibitions, congresses, conventions and incentives through an organized and coordinated work of the Tourist Sector, the members of the bureau and the government.
