The president of the Council of Ministers, Gustavo Adrianzenreferred to the economic benefits that this Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (APEC) will mean for the country over the next five years, which would amount to no less than 15 billion dollars.
“This time the figure can be doubled and the direct benefits after APEC in the next five years would not be less than 15 billion dollars,” he said in statements to TV Perú.
According to the premier, these figures derive from estimates made by the Ministry of Production that take into account the amounts generated from the previous APEC meeting held in Peru, in 2016, and which generated income of between 7 billion and 8 billion. of dollars.
“This is a great opportunity to put Peru in the world’s showcase,” said Adrianzén regarding the holding of the aforementioned forum.
During the lunch offered in honor of the Sultan of Brunei, at the Government Palace, both the Minister of Economy and the head of the Judiciary of that country expressed their desire to visit Cusco. “This shows the interest abroad in tourism in Peru,” said the head of the cabinet.
IMMEDIATE BENEFITS
An immediate and concrete beneficial effect is the direct impact that the arrival of 15 thousand people from the economies that make up APEC has on the Peruvian economy. Of these, approximately 2,500 are journalists.
The passage of these people through the country generates activity in areas such as hotels and gastronomy. “These economies bring together 40% of the world’s population and 60% of the world’s Gross Domestic Product,” said Adrianzén.
