After the official presentation yesterday, the Ente Tucumán Tourism, Sebastián Giobellina, stressed the importance of working in all the markets of long range and the exit to continents from these new routes, due to the characteristics of these two connection nodes of Latam and the many combinations that each one has.
“There are more than 20 airlines operating in the capital of Chile, with 37 international destinations, and 32 lines working in Lima and connecting it with 46 international destinations. The tourism and related services sector will have the possibility to attend a Movement that will generate these six weekly flights, “he said.
