For business owners in the Zona Dorada and Olas Altas, strategies adopted by the municipal government for Semana Santa with respect to the Par Vial and Bandóromo prejudices their sales during the long holiday.

Following the announcement that for the second year the municipality will implement the Par Vial program in the Zona Dorada when all lanes on Av. Camarón Sábalo will be one way from south to north, some store owners on that street and Av. Gaviotas said the program will not improve their sales as happened last year and complained the city did not take them into account nor consult with them.

However, other owners were in agreement with the change saying it allows more people to enter the Zona Dorada to shop and eat.

Business owners in Olas Altas on the other side of the city say they do not want the Bandódromo bandstands near their shops and restaurants.

One restaurant owner stated that the municipality thinks their plan will succeed, but last year was a fiasco with people thinking it was Carnaval.

They also complained about beer stands that were erected last year in front of Olas Altas bars and restaurants, and agreed noise from the bands bothered clients. It is a bad idea, they told reporters, for the municipal government to put the Bandóromo in Olas Altas.
