The hotel sector in the province of Santa Elena is very optimistic at the gates of the holiday, which begins on December 31 and will last until January 2.

Reservations until this afternoon had risen to 80%.

According to Luis Tenempaguay, vice president of the Chamber of Tourism, most likely that capacity will reach 100% in the next few hours; this despite the insecurity that Santa Elena lives with the last registered hit men.
