Some 100,000 tourists go all over the Andes to enjoy carnivals



Lima, Mar. 04 (ANDINA). Nearly 100,000 tourists are travelling all over the country attracted by its carnival atmosphere, which contributes to the economic development of local communities, mainly in Ayacucho, Junín, Cajamarca, Puno and Apurimac receiving almost 20,000 tourists each.
Hotels and restaurants remain full during these weeks, in spite of the consistent tourism investment growth each year.

Investment in the hotel industry is still modest. However, inhabitants make efforts to improve the quality of accommodation services, food and other available services for tourists.

The city offers 117 accommodation facilities; with a total of 2,114 rooms and 4,465 beds, but only 14 are three-to-five-star graded.
