According to Hundskopf, hotel reservations during those dates are expected to reach the booking capacity.

The event will be held from 5 to 12 October this year.

The possibilities for booking a three, four and five-star hotels are “almost running out.”

Some 1,000 people will be arriving in Lima for the international meeting.
