“It is a well-rounded policy: it works for the children, to whom they employ directly, to the companies in the sector and to the local economies that receive it. It implies an impact on the territory and gives joy to families who perhaps never thought that their children could have a trip like this, which usually costs around $300,000,” he emphasized.
