A framework convention for cultural cooperation aimed at coordinating a number of technical actions for the conduct and development of projects to promote awareness of cultural and tourism values was established between the Ministry of Culture (MiCultura) and the Panama House of Tourism (CAMTUR).
The commitment was sealed at the Santo Domingo Convent (Arco Chato), by the Minister of Culture, Giselle González Villarrué and Ovidio Díaz Espino, president of CAMTUR, on Tuesday May 23, prior to the Open Fairy that develops MiCultura, once a month and that at this time was framed as a tourist issue, where they became known about the progress of some projects run by the Tourist Cabinet.
Giselle González Villarrué, Minister of Culture, stated that "this firm confirms MiCultura's commitment to the economic development of this country where many cultures converge, and cultural tourism is nothing but to show the country's identity."
"The opportunity to reiterate that the Ministry of Culture has been working to recover important sites and monuments with an incalculable heritage value that are elements with a cultural and tourist component," added González Villarrué.
For his part Ovidio Díaz, president of Camtur emphasized that "through this partnership we strengthen the private and public sector with cultural tourism products, we strengthen our industry, so we are already making a great difference."
The main aims of this agreement are to strengthen the different activities undertaken by the House of Tourism and with the cultural programs and projects that MiCultura has been performing from cultural spaces that generate an identity.
Both partners will also be promoting projects as a whole that will contribute to improving and enriching the tasks that have been undertaken by the parties and that will promote cultural and tourism.
At the same time, they will share experiences, documents, information and knowledge that contribute to the attainment of the programmes, plans and projects undertaken by each party.
La Camtur is a non-profit organization founded in 1986 as a trade union dedicated to the private impetus of tourism activity, bringing together different sectors or trade unions of tourism activity and its main goal being the promotion and development of tourism in Panama.
