| Peru: Airport investment projects total over US$150 million this year |
By Andina at Living in Peru  Investment projects in the airport sector total over US$150 million this year, Peru's Minister of Transport and Communications Enrique Cornejo said.“If we consider only the concession of the second package of regional airports and the construction of the new airport in the city of Pisco (Ica), investments would go up to over US$150 million this year,” he said. The second group of airports is formed by terminals of Tacna, Juliaca (Puno), Arequipa, Puerto Maldonado (Madre de Dios), Ayacucho and Andahuaylas (Apurimac), located to the south of the country. “We are working a new version of the concession contract. We are overcoming some difficulties in Juliaca and Andahuaylas, besides we still need to complete the perimetric fence in Puerto Maldonado,” Cornejo said. Likewise, he mentioned that this year they will begin the construction works of the new airport in Pisca (Ica), to make alternative uses Jorge Chavez International Airport, located in Lima, and that will demand an investment of over US$40 million. |
| Mexico requiring passports from Canadians |
   Canadians will need passports to enter Mexico as of March 1, the country's tourism board advises. Canadian citizens have been able to visit the country with just a birth certificate plus photo ID, but that is changing as Mexico "aligns its entry requirements to the rest of North America," said Alfonso Sumano, the Mexico Tourism Board's regional director for Canada. Out of the 1.2 million Canadian tourists who visited Mexico last year, about 10,000, or less than one per cent, did not have passports, Sumano said. Canada's Foreign Affairs Department strongly recommends that Canadians travelling to Mexico carry passports "to avoid delays and misunderstandings" and ensure they will be allowed to board return flights. Most airlines refuse boarding to Canadians wanting to travel home from Mexico without a passport, the department says. |
