Asunción has been a popular choice lately as a host for international events. This is due to Paraguay’s strategic location and good infrastructure, but above all, it’s an affordable country where, for less, you can do more. We’re talking hotels, gastronomy, and culture, among other things.
Paraguay is beginning to shine internationally with world-class congresses, conventions, fairs, expositions, and sporting events. But what’s happening to make this happen?
Here are the reasons why Asunción is a unique host for international events:
- The country’s safety: Paraguay stands out for being a safe country where you can travel without major risks. Crime rates are the lowest in the region, making the task easier for event organizers. For these figures to be maintained, this must continue, allowing the capital and the entire country to continue growing positively.
- Strategic location: Although Paraguay has been isolated for several centuries as a result of historical events, today we can say that it enjoys being a central point for many South American countries. From Santiago de Chile, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, or Sao Paulo, you can reach the city of Asunción in a comfortable two-hour flight. Residents of Bolivia or Peru also have no difficulty, with flights from La Paz or Lima lasting a maximum of four hours.
- Political and economic stability: With no major political changes or social unrest, it becomes the perfect country to host any type of event without major problems. Furthermore, prices are stable.
- Hotel options: The infrastructure is modern, hotel capacity is high, and service is very competitive, facilitating logistics for any event.
- The gastronomic offering: Although it’s not as renowned as Peru’s, there is certainly a certain international awareness and interest in Paraguayan cuisine. Not surprisingly, the best soup in the world for the third consecutive year is Vori Vori, according to Taste Atlas. Other dishes, such as mbeju and chipa, leave most foreigners breathless. Plus, their good prices will definitely make you want to return.
- Shopping tourism: As is well known throughout the region, when you want to do good business, you come to Paraguay for shopping, where you can find good prices in different sectors, such as technology, in different parts of the country.
- The growing cultural scene: Asunción has several theaters, convention centers, themed bars, cultural centers, and museums. You can check out their full program here. In addition, there are all the green areas you can visit: such as the Costanera, Parque de la Salud, Ñu Guasú, and Parque Metropolitano, among others. As if that weren’t enough, just a few kilometers away you can see lakes, hills, and waterfalls, making the city of Asunción even more versatile.
- Paraguayan warmth: While Asunción is on par with any other world capital, the friendliness of its citizens stands out compared to the rest. In a fast-paced world, Paraguay positions itself as a leader in humane care without losing sight of the economic interests of the organizers.
- The Olympic training center: Having everything in one place makes it possible to hold sporting events with much more manageable logistics than in other cities where everything requires travel.
In short, if meeting tourism is increasing rapidly (according to the newspaper La Nación, it increases by 10% between semesters), it’s because something is being done right to position itself.
If you want to discover the city of Asunción to consider hosting an international event, you can stay at the Hotel Esplendor, located within the Aviadores del Chaco/Santa Teresa corporate hub.
Its proximity to the airport, shopping malls, and the best restaurants make it a good choice. It’s also close to the CONMEBOL Convention Center and has its own event rooms for meetings.
