us$1.5
Billion From Tourism
The tourist sector has
represented income for us$1.589
billion dollars this year.
This figure is a 17% (or us$300 million) increase
over last year's figures,
according to Minister of Tourism
Rodrigo Castro.
The number of
tourists has also increased, and
it is expected to reach
1.671.000 by the end of the
year, which means a 15% increase
in the number of visitors than in 2004.
However, Minister Castro pointed
out that it is a must to improve
the existing facilities -
without going into details, the
Minister was referring to roads
and infrastructure - in order
to properly take care of the
increasing number of visitors.
