With three new instances, the Undersecretariat of Tourism and the National Board of Tourism seeks to strengthen the public-private bond, to advance together in the phases towards reactivation.

This week, the Undersecretariat of Tourism and the National Board of Tourism (Sernatur) began a new stage of work in the tourism sector. Key instances with private tourism companies were added to the well-known digital platforms that the institutions offer like “Activa Turismo.” The objective is to strengthen public-private ties to prepare a plan what will be the sector’s reactivation stage.

The current health emergency has hit tourism hard and quickly became a challenge for the entire industry. Within this framework, both public institutions will develop different actions that prepare the various actors in the tourism chain. In the process, three new instances of joint work with companies of the sector will be added to commit a path towards reactivation.
