Title: 皮埃尔·奥热观测站的社会经济影响

Abstract: The Pierre Auger Observatory has been operating in Malargue, Province of Mendoza, western Argentina, for over two decades, significantly advancing our understanding of cosmic rays. Beyond its scientific mission, the installation and operation of the Observatory has had profound social, economic, educational and cultural impact on the local community, the region and worldwide. More than 90 percent of the Observatory's annual operational budget is invested in the region, benefiting sectors such as tourism, hospitality, gastronomy, and local commerce. Additionally, the presence of international visitors and collaborations has fostered a rich cultural exchange. Malargue has emerged as a destination for scientific tourism, with the Observatory as a major attraction, having welcomed over 178,000 visitors since its inauguration and boosting the development of the region. This article explores the broad direct and indirect benefits of the Auger Observatory and the key lessons learned from this endeavor. A new International Agreement signed in 2024 ensures the continuity of the project for at least another decade, until 2035, reaffirming its scientific, economic, and social relevance.
