“As minister of tourism and environment there is a kind of check and balance [to my role]. I may be proud that we have 7.5 million tourists but, to be sincere, I am not asking for more. I am asking for quality, for people to stay longer than the average three to four nights, and to come all year round. Beaches aren't unique. What's unique [about the country] is virgin, untouched, undiscovered. What we want is tourism that is friendly to the environment, responsible and sustainable. We don't want tourism concentrated only in certain areas, but tourism that focuses on cultural heritage, gastronomy, hiking, rafting, nature … there are so many little farms that people can go to and enjoy all of this.”
