The Legislature of the Province of Jujuy has approved Law No. 6478, amending Law No. 6059 on the progressive overcoming of the state of emergency in transportation and regulation of alternative motor transport.
The new legislation removes sections B and C from Article 7 of the previous law. This change eliminates restrictions that had limited the growth of provincial tourist transport services.
With these modifications, travel agencies and tourism providers are now allowed to expand their vehicle fleets, operate more than one authorized unit, and compete under conditions better aligned with increasing demand in the sector.
Specifically, two key prohibitions have been lifted: first, restrictions on registering new alternative transport companies—unless already registered with national authorities and based in Jujuy—are no longer in effect. Second, companies can now register additional vehicles beyond simply replacing existing ones for newer models.
Federico Posadas, Minister of Culture and Tourism for Jujuy province, emphasized the significance of this change for the tourism sector: “This law and its repeal are very important for the growth of tourist transport in the province of Jujuy. From now on there will be no obstacles for travel agencies to have more than one van: they will be able to grow, invest and compete according to market logic. In a context of expanding activity, companies will be able to add more units and expand their tourist transport service. This modification eliminates a historic barrier that limited the development of tourism supply in Jujuy, and will allow investments in the tourist transport system to grow freely within a framework balancing supply and demand.”
The removal of these legal constraints is seen as an important step toward greater competitiveness, increased private investment, and support for continued growth in provincial tourism. It also aims to strengthen cooperation between public institutions and private businesses to create a broader range of quality offerings.
Law No. 6478 was passed by the Legislature on November 6, 2025.
