The president of the Broad Front, Fernando Pereira, pointed out against the hierarchs who speak of a record tourist season. “There is talk of a record season in tourism. Based on what? It’s the ninth day of January. On what basis can you have that certainty of a record season“He said this Monday at a press conference at the exit of the Executive Secretariat.
“The problem is that measuring tourism requires technical mechanisms more than states of mindPereira added.
More than 460,000 tourists entered Uruguay in 18 days, the Minister of Tourism, Tabaré Viera, reported on Monday. Since December 22, more than 170 thousand Argentines and 53 thousand Brazilians, according to figures from the National Directorate of Migration. The undersecretary of Tourism, Remo Monzeglio, said last week that the start of the 2023 summer season was the best he can remember.
“All the data collected so far shows us an excellent start to the season, they are even much higher than those of 2019-2020,” remarked the Minister of Tourism, Tabaré Viera.
Pereira assured that the number of tourists will be seen “when the season ends.” “What we want most is that the workers who live from tourism and gastronomic workers have adequate salaries and the numbers show positive results. But that’s not generated by generating headlines,” he said.
“The Broad Front took a series of data, compared it with previous years and took enough time and then measured the season. They are not the same data,” he added.
