The head of state further highlighted the importance of this growth, reiterating that 2023 had set records as the year with the highest tourism numbers in El Salvador’s history.
«Considering that 2023 marked the year with the highest tourism in our history, this 35% increase is a testament to our continuous progress. Step by step,» President Bukele added.
