81.000 people have entered to our country during the first 15 days of January through Los libertadores border crossing.

According to Sernatur, the amount represents an important increase in comparison with the last year, when almost 55.000 tourists entered to Chilean territory.

The organism’s director at Valparaíso, Katrina Sanguinetti, pointed out that this increase means a big contribution to the tourism industry, and a positive effect for the local economy. In addition, she highlighted the efforts that Sernatur has made.

Sanguinetti adds that close to 90% of those who cross through Los Libertadores are Argentinians.
