(prensa.com) The Cabinet Council has designated the Panama Tourism Authority (ATP), led by Salomón Shamah, as the responsible entity for organizing the 2011 Panama City Carnival, with a budget of $1.5 million.
The information was released on Tuesday by the State Secretariat of Communication through a statement.
“We believe that $1.5 million dollars is sufficient. Last year we did it with $300,000, so this budget is more than enough,” said Shamah.
The ATP will retain control of the funds and the transfer of their management. This year’s Carnival is slated to begin on Saturday, March 5 and last for the usual four days.
