Cancellation of the Candelaria Festival in Punodue to social conflict, which has resulted in the death of more than 50 people in the region, has caused severe economic damage to an average of 300,000 families engaged in activities related to tourism.

“The loss statistics we had for the party candles they caused 230 million soles to stop transiting the Puno market, including transportation, crafts, housing, food, etc., said Francisco Akise, President of the Puno Chamber of Commerce at RPP News’ Economy for All .

While they stand in solidarity with the protesters’ requests, the spokesperson did not shy away from mentioning that they are in a difficult situation. “isolation situation”this resulted in a significant drop in visits touristsespecially those who come from abroad.

“In domestic tourism and inbound tourism, 100% has been affected, tourism activity has been without economic activity and without work since January 4 … We have 1,200,000 inhabitants, therefore 30% of the population has a horizontal impact on tourism activity between Juliaca and Puno,” he said.

The situation is deplorable, Akize thought, especially since they were the result of two years of growth after the start of pandemicbut at the end of 2022, the picture changed.

Economic situation in the region

Acquise said the region saw price increases for some products, such as a gas bottle that cost S/75 until last week, although things have become regulated these days.

Despite this, he does not know what the economic situation will be in the coming months in the tourism sector, which accounts for 50% of the tourist flow between March and November.
