What is Cultural Argentina?

• Isenhour International and AWA Meetings both were working to host a Cuba Experience for qualified customers in 2020.   Covid-19 prevented those efforts from happening.  In late 2020 both companies decided to work collectively to make a Cuban Experience a reality and Cultural Cuba was born with the success of an inaugural program in June 2022.  The 2024 iteration will be an exceptional educational and cultural trip for attendees to an amazing Caribbean destination.

​Who is eligible to attend?

• Cultural Argentina is open to anyone.  While you have to meet the Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control criteria to receive your travel visa; I.I. and A.W.A. will work with you to ensure you qualify and meet our expectations for the educational and cultural aspects of the trip.

Is it Safe?

• Absolutely!  I.I. representatives and A.W.A. representatives have made multiple trips to Argentina to evaluate the country and prepare for Cultural Agentina groups.  Additionally, Alchemy DMC, our local DMC provider, is well versed in the Argentinian experience and will ensure all aspects of your wellbeing and safety are taken into consideration.  Argentina is a beautiful and safe LATAM destination with a wealth of history and culture.  The Argetninian people are very welcoming to visitors and show exceptional hospitality.
