Store and restaurant owners in the Colonial City are calling for the installation of public bathrooms for visitors to the area. The need for public bathrooms has intensified with the arrival of cruise ships to the area. A spokesman for one restaurant, Cafeteria Andrea, told Diario Libre that in one day up to 20 tourists ask to use the washroom.
Diario Libre reports that public bathrooms are common in cities such as Paris and Madrid where there are pay cabins.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Tourism, Napoleon de la Cruz said that bathrooms are available from Friday to Sunday at the Plaza de Espana when events are held. He said the City Government authorities are responsible for public bathrooms. Reporters are waiting for a comment on the issue from the City Government.
De la Cruz, said nevertheless, that this problem and others will be studied as part of the diagnostic exercise on problems and solutions that is being carried out with a US$300,000 donation from the Inter-American Development Bank.
