Economists argue that should the current trickle of 350,000 visitors each year grow to a quite reasonable million, every Bolivian would be employed. “Bolivia is where Costa Rica was 20 years ago,” an eco-tourism expert told me at the first national summit on the industry on the shores of Lake Titicaca.
经济学家认为，现在每年35万的游客数量应该可以增加到几百万，到那时，每一个玻利维亚人都会找到工作。一位生态旅游业的专家在第一次的的喀喀湖湖滨工业全国峰会上告诉我，“玻利维亚就是20年前的哥斯达黎加。”
