Category  Workshop |   Duration  1h30min |   Platform  Zoom

Tourism is a key factor in development. It has a very great capacity to create employment and, in poor contexts, it is an important support to the primary sector and the more traditional secondary sector. Today, with the pandemic, it is one of the economic sectors that have been most affected by the restrictions imposed by COVID-19. As true as this is that, as soon as sanitary conditions allow, individuals and families who have been able to stay afloat will travel. It is convenient to take advantage of the force of this start, to generate employment, energize sectors and radiate dynamism. However, this new tourism should correct the mistakes that had been made in recent decades. We need, in future years, responsible tourism, respectful of the environment, of indigenous customs and culture, sensitive to the dynamics of normal life in the territories and with the will not to modify its rhythms.
