Peru's northern Lambayeque region is likely to welcome close to 25,000 visitors during National Independence holidays (July 27-30), its Foreign Trade and Tourism Regional Management (Gercetur) projected.
Gercetur Chair Rosario Julca estimated tourist arrivals will lead to revenue worth over S/12 million (about US$3.69 million) on the occasion.
The area is expected to receive travelers after having overcome difficulties generated by natural disasters.
As is known, the Inca nation was at the mercy of "
Coastal El Niño" phenomenon in the January-March period.
In addition, Julca underlined some 100,000 locals will travel across Lambayeque to join local celebrations.
