And as we well know, a large part of the economy of both countries derives from this exorbitant amount of visitors that both countries receive.
Now, just imagine spending almost a year without receiving even a third of that number of people?
You can even understand why Paraguayan traders are so excited about Black Friday Paraguay, which already has a date chosen.
And add animation to it, since Ciudad del Este has been preparing for the event since September.
Expectations only increased with the increasing expansion of vaccination at the border, in addition to, of course, the decrease in Covid-19 cases.
It is believed that more than 4.000 stores will join Black Friday.
Traders, super excited about the possibility of the city's economic reactivation, believe that this is a very favorable time for sales, as at the same time Brazil has some long holidays that will bring many tourists.
