In a video conference, the head of the Sectur, Miguel Torruco, indicated that the protocol for reopening tourism will be announced next week, indicating which municipalities will be able to resume activities for travelers, mainly nationals.

"Next week we will announce how the pandemic is going, the destinations that are going to be able to open gradually under the new health protocol that we will jointly launch with the Ministry of Health," said Torruco.
