Mr. Meyer addresses the World Vintage Rugby Carnival, 2006


“On behalf of the entire nation of Argentina, it is a very great honour for us to host the next World Vintage Rugby Carnival in September, 2006, in our capital city of Buenos Aires

We are confident that all participants will profit from a wonderful stay in our country, where the possibilities are infinite, both for sports and tourism.

From its breathtaking natural wonders to its welcoming cities, Argentina will continually surprise you at all times.

You will be captivated in cosmopolitan Buenos Aires, where its vibrant & different neighborhoods defined by varied immigrant traditions, its cultural life and its passion for tango are constant attractions. You will visit estancias (ranches) in the Province of Buenos Aires where you will be able to enjoy a typical barbecue, our “asado”.

Most importantly, beyond Argentina’s beautiful landscapes and traditions, you will feel the warmth & all embracing hospitality of our people, who will make you feel right at home.

Argentina has a love for sports, and rugby has been played for a long time with an increasing popularity. By hosting the World Vintage Rugby Carnival 2006, Argentina hopes to transmit the importance of both tourism and sports inter-twined as an opportunity & a platform for promoting our country.

We look very much forward to welcoming you as our guests here in Argentina next year.

Kind regards,

Mr. Carlos Enrique Meyer
Secretary of Tourism
