The impact of these suspensions is significant. In a country where tourism represents an important source of income, the limitation of international flights not only affects those who wish to travel for pleasure or work, but also the sectors that depend on tourism, such as hotels, gastronomy, culture and transportation. The decrease in connectivity not only discourages the arrival of tourists, but also limits investment possibilities and international cooperation, key elements for Bolivia's economic and social development.

This type of crisis in air transportation directly affects Bolivian businessmen, who depend on agile mobility to carry out international transactions, as well as students and citizens in general who wish to access destinations outside the country. The reduction in the number of available flights and the increase in costs of the few flights that remain active also impacts citizens' budgets, making it difficult to access and move people to other destinations.

In view of this situation, both ALTA and ALA Bolivia have called on the Bolivian government to consider urgent measures to improve the outlook for the airlines and, therefore, for the country. Both organizations stress the importance of adopting policies that facilitate the repatriation of funds and that are attractive for foreign airline investment in Bolivia. If these changes are not implemented, the country could face air isolation that would seriously affect its ability to integrate with the rest of the world.

According to ALTA representatives, air connectivity is not only a benefit for the transportation sector, but a fundamental tool for the development of a nation. The lack of international air accessibility harms opportunities for cooperation with other countries, limiting exchanges in areas such as education, culture and economy. In addition, the reduction of flights has an impact on the country's competitiveness, increasing the cost of exporting and importing goods.

In an increasingly globalized world, air connectivity has become a basic need for any country. For Bolivia, a decrease in its international flight options could represent a setback in its development. A country's integration into the global economy depends to a large extent on its population's ability to move around and its accessibility to attract investors and tourists. Foreign airlines play a crucial role in facilitating the flow of people and goods, strengthening ties between Bolivia and other countries.

Bolivia needs to take effective and immediate decisions to avoid being completely isolated by air. The country's authorities must work hand in hand with ALTA and ALA Bolivia to find viable solutions that will allow foreign airlines to maintain their operations without financial obstacles. Facilitating the repatriation of revenues and creating incentive policies for the airline industry are just some of the measures that could be implemented to guarantee connectivity and avoid further economic consequences.

This crisis situation represents a challenge, but also an opportunity for the Bolivian government to demonstrate its commitment to the development and integration of Bolivia in the international arena.
