Bolivia has come up with a novel way to reactivate its tourism sector decimated by the coronavirus pandemic: it's giving extra holidays to its public sector employees.
More than 500,000 people work in the public sector in the South American country of just 11 million people.
Depending on the number of years of service, public employees receive between two and four weeks of annual leave.
But under the program launched at the end of November, they will be able to boost their time off by 20-30 percent as long as they go on holiday within the country.
