Travelers in Peru on Oct. 21 will have the novel experience of being counted in the national census, not as residents but as visitors. Officials of the National Statistics Institute said that tourists will be able to go about their business so long as they carry their passports with them that day and obtain a special document that states they have participated in the census. Tourists are to be counted at airports and hotels and once registered will be free to pursue their plans. The census will take place from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and all public establishments and commercial enterprises, including markets and gas stations, will be closed.
