The President of the Republic Dina Boluarte on Wednesday affirmed it is important to continue promoting tourism in Peru so as to contribute to its economy.


"We have seen that if we do not empower tourism, if we do not start to boost the economy of that sector, we won't continue advancing," Mrs. Boluarte expressed.

In this sense, the Head of State highlighted the articulated work that is carried out by the Government —a work that "has to be based on social peace, dialogue, and tolerance for all of us to jointly move our country forward."

The top official indicated that the Kuelap citadel will be available to the public from Saturday, August 19, partially due to the fact that work is still being carried out to protect and take care of the archaeological site.

"Starting this Saturday, we will partially open the Kuelap citadel, partially, because we have to continue working on its protection and care," Mrs. Boluarte said.

"Today, we have seen how work has been done so that the citadel can have a means of drainage and that it can remove the falling water so that it does not damage the wall," she added.

Later, the president announced that the Executive Branch will invest in various projects located in Tingo district (Amazonas region). These are related to education, health, and sanitation sectors.

Moreover, the top official invited all Amazonas region mayors to hold a meeting during the first week of September. Thus, they will be able to discuss their problems and set up working groups immediately so as to move the respective files and agreements forward.
