Lombardi is a moron.

He and MM said no to a good promotion of the city.

You may be correct in your comment, but I have not read about any Buenos Aires promotion tied into the cruise season. What was the promotion?

Not tied to cruise season directly; but tecnopolis was a good event to promote baires; luckily despite PRO myopia it would be done somewhere else but at baires loss.

Read this article made me remind my time lovely in Argentina. I had the chance to know all those magical places. However, I think that the most fascinating thing I did, was take tango lessons and then attend a show. At first had no desire to attend this type of activity; however a good friend of mine that had done it before encouraged me to do so. I book online trough bsas4u, the same as she took during his time in the city. The show and the lessons in Complejo Tango were somewhat incredible, authentic and unique. I enjoyed a lot the whole activity and in the end I understood that I had experienced one of the most Argentinean days in my life.

Billy(3) - The “tecnopolis” was not turned down by the city government, but only the proposed location within the city. A suitable alternate location was offered by the city, but this location was turned down by the “K” government.

Strange, but the event was only publisized two weeks before the turn-down.
