Quito Ecuador: Chimbacalle train station symbol of strengthening tourism industry

telesurtv.net reported an emblematic landmark of Quito, the Eloy Alfaro Chimbacalle Station with its renowned Cruise Train has undergone extensive restoration to become a principal tourist attraction of the country. Under the international campaign All You Need Is Ecuador, the government entity Trains of Ecuador has undergone a revival in recent years.

“We found a business not on the verge of death, but totally dead. We took its pulse, and it did not have any. We could rescue a few things, and we had to restructure the business focusing principally on tourism with three objectives. Stimulate the economies of the places where the train passes, recuperate the historical memory of Ecuador, and also operate the most beautiful train in the world,” said Jorge Eduardo Carrera Sanchez, the General Manager of Trains of Ecuador to teleSUR.
