In a significant boost to the country’s tourism sector, the Government of President Nayib Bukele has inaugurated the new Tourist Pier at the Port of La Libertad this afternoon. This modern infrastructure, a key part of the “Surf City” initiative, promises to enhance the experience for both local and international visitors, offering new attractions along El Salvador’s beautiful coastline.
The new pier, built with the cooperation of the People’s Republic of China, stretches over 200 linear meters, providing visitors with a scenic walkway to enjoy the stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. The project, which has seen an investment of over $18 million, aims to further develop the country’s tourism potential, particularly in the thriving Surf City region.
At the inauguration ceremony, the Minister of Tourism, Morena Valdez, highlighted the importance of the new pier for the people of El Salvador. “This new tourist attraction will provide Salvadorans with a beautiful space to walk, relax, and contemplate the sea, strengthening our coastal tourism and offering more opportunities to enjoy our country’s natural beauty,” said Valdez.
The Tourist Pier at the Port of La Libertad is expected to become a major draw for both local and foreign tourists, contributing to the ongoing growth of El Salvador’s tourism industry. As part of the strategic partnership with China, the project is a reflection of the country’s commitment to modernizing its infrastructure and attracting more international visitors.
With this new addition to Surf City, the development of El Salvador’s coastal areas is poised to provide an even richer experience for tourists, reinforcing the nation’s position as an emerging destination for travel and leisure in Central America.
A Modern Destination for Tourists
The opening of the new Tourist Pier is part of a broader effort by the Bukele administration to modernize the country’s tourism infrastructure, creating new experiences and promoting El Salvador as a top destination for international travelers. The pier is expected to play a key role in attracting more visitors, offering them a contemporary space to experience the natural beauty and vibrant culture of the country.
This project marks another milestone in El Salvador’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its economy through tourism and international cooperation.
