The agreement was signed by the minister of Tourism, Morena Valdez, in her capacity as President Director of Corsatur, and the Director of Migration and Foreign Affairs, Ricardo Cucalón, who highlighted the importance of this agreement, which will allow to improve the exchange of information of interest and specific migratory data for the technical analysis of tourism.

"The country has changed, four years into this administration, we have become the fourth country in the world with the highest growth in tourism, this is not what we say, it is what the World Tourism Organization says; this would not be a reality, without all the support we have had from institutions such as the DGME", said Valdez.

Until august of this year, 2.2 million visitors were registered, data that are a record for El Salvador in terms of international tourism, data that place the country as leader in the Central American region, since these visitors have left $2,400 million in foreign exchange; therefore, the projection is that by december 2023, 2.9 million visitors will be registered, equivalent to $2,900 million in foreign exchange income.

"Today we are taking an important step that will allow us to implement specific strategies and channels through a standardized channel that will strengthen the specialized technical analysis of the statistical data of tourism in our country; we will also strengthen the continuous promotion of tourism at the borders", explained the director of Migración y Extranjería.
