Asunción, Agencia IP.- Paraguay hosts a major international event, welcoming over 22,000 people worldwide for the International Assembly of Jehovah’s Witnesses. This prominent gathering reinforces our country’s position as an attractive destination for international events and promises a significant economic impact.

According to the organizers, the event will inject over 4 million dollars into the country’s economy, benefiting various sectors, including transportation, with more than 350 bus units dedicated to internal transfers of attendees. In an interview, Víctor Chamorro, Director of Conference Tourism at the National Tourism Secretariat (Senatur), emphasized the importance of these gatherings for the local economy, highlighting that conference tourism has solidified as a critical segment.

«Each international delegate spends an average of 354 dollars per night in Paraguay,» commented Chamorro. «This impact, multiplied by the number of nights and visitors, represents a significant contribution to our economy.» In just the first quarter of 2024, 17 events of national tourism interest generated 29 million dollars, demonstrating the strategic value of this segment.

The success of the International Assembly of Jehovah’s Witnesses reflects Senatur’s ongoing efforts to position Paraguay as an attractive destination for international events.
