Gold is gifted to tourists every day in a small town in Argentina

The historic town of La Carolina, located in Argentina's San Luis province and notable for its population of just 350 people, has launched an unusual campaign to revitalize winter tourism. The regional administration distributes gold daily through a lottery system to attract tourists and boost the local economy.

The town, known for its gold mines in the past and now striving to become a tourist attraction, offers visitors the chance to win 18-carat gold. This initiative aims to significantly increase interest in the region in a short period.

Officials state that their goal is to increase tourism revenues while preserving the historical fabric of La Carolina. This campaign, referencing its gold mining heritage, promises a highly interesting experience for both local and international tourists.

Visitors can explore the town's narrow streets and historical mine tours, while also participating in the excitement of the daily lottery. This step is expected to overcome the region's stagnation during the winter months and transform the town into one of Argentina's most popular routes.
