Director of national tourism entity ATP, Salomón Shamah, said private enterprises and businessmen have little interest in helping to fund a 2010 Carnival in Panama City.
Shamah told television program Telemetro Reporta that the institution is currently seeking experienced individuals to develop the logistics of next year's carnival celebrations, with the the necessary financial support to back it up.
The official went on to assert that the disinterest of the private sector may be due to the fact that the government itself has been adamant about not pitching in any monetary resources for the implementation of this activity.
He opined that this position will be maintained, unless President Ricardo Martinelli changes his views on the matter and decides to provide at least seed capital for the activity.
In the event that the ATP is forced to take charge of the organization of next year's carnival, Shamah said he will stand firm on his position to only hire and support national artists.
