“The estimates for this long weekend are very positive, they reflect a significant increase if we compare them with 2021 and even with 2019, that is, pre-pandemic figures. We hope that the micro, small and medium-sized entrepreneurs and tourism businesswomen, and the entire sector, can take advantage of this opportunity to continue with the work of reactivating this item”, assured the Undersecretary of Tourism, Verónica Kunze.
