India News: El Salvador has introduced a $1,000 (0ver Rs 8,000) fee for passengers from Africa or India in an attempt to limit migration to the US via the country
I think that’s kind of the point. How many tourists ACTUALLY go to El Salvador from African nations for simple recreation? The number has to be tiny. I’m guessing the country has analyzed the numbers of people coming in from India and African nations and found that a small number are tourists, and most of those could already afford to make the trip more expensive. The rest are either on business, where companies can either pay for it or have ways to get around it, or they are trying to make their way to other countries.
💯 Considering how weak so many of our African currencies are already, $1000 is a whole lotta cash.
