CONSIDERING:

That the promotion of national and international receptive tourism by the Agency is based primarily on the sustained projection of the Argentine image, through the dissemination, distribution and display of promotional materials and information of the exceptional conditions and possibilities of the national tourist supply, as well as through the concurrent action to improve and expand the resources and infrastructure of services in all centers and circuits of attraction of the internal and external potential demand.

That, in turn, the development of economic and social tourism, is carried out by mobilizing contingents from all over the country, composed of family nuclei of lower income, children of school age and retired and pensioned, towards the TURISTIC UNITIES of CHAPADMALAL and EMBALSE dependent on the agency and towards different centres and tourist circuits in special programmes, for which there must be concessions of hotel services, catering

That both specific actions are inherent in the Agency ' s specialty; they are essential and essential to the fulfilment of its objectives and, in the light of its object, characteristics and modalities, require timely and efficient implementation.

That the financing of the above-mentioned contracts is fully covered by the specific legal resources derived from the tax established by Act No. 14.574 (t. 1987), with the recovery of costs for services and the production of concessions for commercial premises and complementary activities.

That the priority objective sought in such governmental action, for the acquisition of foreign exchange, the mobilization of tourist resources, the generation of local and regional sources of work and economies throughout the country, is a contributing and immediate factor to the purposes of the administrative and economic emergency laws, which warrants their particular treatment in order to facilitate the greatest implementation of the Agency ' s activities.

In this regard, it is of merit and convenience to exclude it from the suspension and procedure established by Decree No. 435/90 on Contracts, in exercise of the powers given by article 86 (1) of the National Constitution.
