National Tourism Council
The National Tourism Council, as it was in 2016, was created in 2001 and effectively reactivated in 2003. It is part of the basic structure of the Ministry of Tourism and a means by which the ministry formulates and implements its public policies in a decentralized, open and democratic manner, as exemplified by the elaboration of the National Tourism Plans from 2003 to 2007 and from 2007 to 2010. It is the council?s responsibility to: provide guidelines for the formulation of the National Tourism Policy; provide support to the minister of Tourism in the assessment of the policy; oversee the implementation of legislation in the sector; position itself when requested, through advice and recommendations; work towards the implementation of a more democratic tourism policy, with a focus on income generation and the reduction of inequality; develop strategies to develop domestic tourism and attract tourism from abroad; work toward environmental, social and cultural sustainability; and contribute to the improvement of legislation. The council is comprised of 67 representatives, 22 from the public sector and 45 from the civil society.

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
