The President of the Instituto Salvadoreño de Turismo (ISTU), Eny Aguiñada announced that tomorrow thursday starts the Surf City El Salvador ALAS 6 Stars Prime 2021, as part of the ALAS Pro Tour.

She also expressed that she is full of pride because the country is once again hosting an international surfing event, being the last season to be held this year and is expecting more than 150 surfers.

Each of these 150 or more surfers will become ambassadors of El Salvador in social networks, so it is another great moment of international positioning and generation of tourist income; as was the Surf City El Salvador ISA World Surfing Games 2021.

According to the head of the ISTU, the inauguration of the event will be tomorrow in Punta Roca from December 2 to 5 and will be open to the public, but with limited seating.

This tour, according to the President of ALAS Pro Tour, Karin Sierralta, has been touring the continent for 20 years and every year expectations grow. "They come from more than 15 countries, from all over South America, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Peru, Chile, Ecuador, then we go up to Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guatemala, obviously El Salvador, Mexico, Canada and the United States. We also have the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico", he explained.

Within the protocols to avoid possible COVID-19 infections, there will be disinfection of footwear, the application of alcohol gel, the use of masks inside the circuit and the distancing in the areas where the athletes will be.

For the realization of the event, the Central Government has worked so that Punta Roca has an infrastructure with first aid, spaces for the athletes. This scenario is in addition to the experiences of previous months in El Sunzal and El Tunco.
