Buenos Aires, November 19 (NA) — The National Parks Administration (APN) has approved a new regulation that completely replaces the regime in force since 2002, known as the "Tourist Permits Regulation," endorsed by Resolution 62/2025.
According to information accessed by the Argentine News Agency, this initiative centralizes "in a single framework" "clear" rules for tourism service providers, with the aim of "updating processes, reducing bureaucracy, and supporting the growth of tourism" in protected areas, without losing sight of the conservation of natural and cultural heritage.
"The resolution establishes a simplified permit scheme, with digital procedures through the TAD platform, unified criteria, and greater predictability for guides, operators, and tourism ventures. It also delegates powers to the intendancies of each park and the National Directorate of Public Use, allowing for more agile and adaptable responses to the characteristics of each territory," stated APN.
In turn, the Minister of Deregulation and State Transformation, Federico Sturzenegger, stated that "the eternal tenders and exclusive concessions that had created artificial monopolistic rents in our national parks are over."
"Encourage yourselves to present yourselves as competition against the activities that today operate as monopolies. Previous permits will not be renewed and must be processed again under this new scheme."
"The procedure is simple and allows starting on a small scale and growing over time," assured the official.
The APN seeks to order regulations accumulated over more than twenty years, eliminate unnecessary requirements, and promote a more efficient relationship between the State, providers, and visitors.
