Bar and nightclub owners asked to be allowed to work these days.
Esmeraldas
The hotel sector in the province of Esmeraldas estimates that some 10,000 visitors, including tourists and families who have apartments, would arrive between Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
Some relatives reserved rooms since the beginning of this month. Eddy Ortega hopes to welcome the new year in Atacames with his family.
Jorge BenÃtez, president of the Chamber of Tourism, said that the low absence of tourists this holiday season is also due to the restriction of Colombian citizens due to the closure of borders.
He recalled that two years ago they registered up to 50,000 tourists this season, between foreigners and nationals, in the spas of Tonsupa, Atacames, Same, Esmeraldas, mainly.
The tourism sector will apply biosecurity measures and will request the vaccination certificate from the guests before their accommodation and the capacity will be met as required by the national COE, said Margarita Sanabria, administrator of an inn in Atacames.
The owners of bars, discos and owners of entertainment venues announced a mobilization to the Government of Esmeraldas to allow them to work on these holidays.
One of these artistic events with singers on stage was announced for January 1, 2022, in a tourist complex north of the Emerald capital. (I)
