A Catholic conference that only happens once every four years went ahead this month in Quito , but attendance was 25% lower than planned.

It's the latest crisis to hit an industry that, according to the World Bank , is one of the struggling South American nation’s top three top potential moneymakers, along with agriculture and mining.

Tourism minister: The declaration of internal war “was a brave decision by the government and a necessary decision”.

Violence has shifted to “certain provinces to where the criminals have retreated,” head of national police said last month .

Many of these areas, particularly the agricultural heartland and urban slums, are hardly focal points of travel, leaving most tourist destinations much safer.

The State Department ranks Ecuador as “ Level Two ” — the same as Brazil and safer than Level-Three” Colombia .
