Workshops and Consultations on the Master Plan for Sustainable Tourism

The Workshops and Consultations on the Master Plan for Sustainable Tourism 2007-2020 were an instance in which community leaders, municipal authorities and representatives of indigenous communities, unions, public and private companies, and civil society organizations participated. The workshops were held both in the diagnostic phase prior to the formulation of the plan, as well as after the design was concluded, so that interested parties were able to get to know the plan and validate it. More than one thousand individuals participated in the consultations and workshops, which were held throughout the country. Subsequently, in late 2019 and early 2020, a new round of cross-sectoral consultations was held to update the 2007-2020 plan for it to cover the period going from 2020-2025.
