The mayor of Maldonado, Enrique Antíadefined himself as “moderately optimistic” for the summer season, officially launched a week ago, while highlighting the progress that the department is making to have activity beyond the tourism seasonal.
“Last year the season was good, this one is going to be a little better because there are more events now, there are more reservations and there are also more Brazilians who are going to come,” he stated in dialogue with Ambit.
Asked whether or not he is concerned about the impact of the economic crisis on Argentinawhere the bulk of the tourists who visit come from Maldonado During the high season, Antía recalled that “last year we had the same exchange rate difference, the same problem.”
“Now everything is a little more delayed because the expectation for the elections has delayed decision-making a little, but in Maldonado We have many reservations and a lot of loyalty from neighbors that assures us that the season will be good,” he highlighted.
The mayor did show concern about the weather conditions, when the El Niño phenomenon suggests that it will be a summer with a lot of rainfall. “What we are going to need is for Tata Dios to help us over time. Last year was magnificent, but this year will possibly be very rainy,” he said.
Although Punta del Este in particular and Maldonado In general, they are par excellence the most chosen destination nationwide during the summer. For some time now, strategic actions have been developed to make them places open all year round, that is, their activity is not limited to the seasonal months.
“There are many advances for Punta del Este be a city open all year round. There is a reality and that is that there are many people who have gone to live, we have grown and this winter has been a winter where we have been surprised by the number of people who are betting on Maldonado to go live or study,” Mayor Enrique Antía assessed in this regard.
“We are doing investments in different sectors and accompanying the private sector that is spreading in investments throughout the department. We have been working like this for many years and I believe that one day we will reap all this,” he concluded.
