Conversely, during New Year&#8217;s, Lima becomes the hub, making up <strong>54.1% of transfers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Domestic tourism is expected to be a major expenditure point, with travelers planning to spend an average of <strong>473 soles<\/strong> during Christmas and <strong>539 soles<\/strong> for New Year celebrations, typically for a four-night stay.<\/p>\n<h3>Transportation Choices Amid Price Increases<\/h3>\n<p>As the holiday approaches, major land terminals such as <strong>Yerbateros<\/strong> in Lima are bustling with activity. Reports indicate that ticket prices have spiked\u2014some destinations, including <strong>San Ram\u00f3n<\/strong> and <strong>Huancayo<\/strong>, have seen increases of up to <strong>40%<\/strong>. This shift highlights a growing trend where <strong>interprovincial transportation<\/strong> remains the preferred option, chosen by <strong>76.8%<\/strong> of Christmas travelers and <strong>65.3%<\/strong> of those traveling for New Year.<\/p>\n<h3>Popular Destinations for Holiday Travel<\/h3>\n<p>The destinations favored by travelers are telling.
