The Ministry of Tourism presented the results of the diagnosis and the strategies for the development of the tourist-recreational integration corridor of Laguna Merín, an initiative that it promotes together with the Andean Development Corporation (CAF), within the framework of the Uruguay-Brazil Waterway Project, led by the Ministry of Transportation and Public Works (MTOP). During the activity, the main progress of the work carried out and the next stages to consolidate a proposal for sustainable tourism development for the region were announced.
The project seeks to identify the tourism potential of the nautical-river integration corridor, promoting the development of new tourism products, investment opportunities and infrastructure, in addition to strengthening territorial governance to consolidate an integrated offer. As part of the process, between July 20 and 22, validation workshops were held with the consulting firm Hidría in Fortín de San Miguel, Melo and General Enrique Martínez (La Charqueada), with the participation of public and private actors and organizations from the territory.
During the opening, the Minister of Tourism, Pablo Menoni, highlighted that the initiative reflects the continuity of a State policy and stressed the importance of planning tourism development based on evidence and through joint work between public organizations, departmental governments and local actors. In addition, he highlighted the potential of tourism as an engine for the development of regional economies and job creation.
The Undersecretary of Tourism, Ana Claudia Caram, reaffirmed the Ministry's vision of building tourism development together with local actors and highlighted the strategic value of Laguna Merín from a binational perspective. Likewise, he valued the broad participation in the workshops held, whose contributions will serve as a basis for future development strategies of the destination.
For her part, the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Transportation and Public Works, Claudia Peris, highlighted the coordinated work between the different State agencies and pointed out that incorporating the tourism dimension into the Uruguay-Brazil Waterway Project makes it possible to enhance the opportunities offered by the territory, complementing other lines of development planned for the region.
In closing, the CAF Representative, Janet Rea, highlighted that the study constitutes a shared vision for the future of Laguna Merín and reaffirmed the organization's commitment to a project that promotes integration between Uruguay and Brazil, sustainable development and the generation of new opportunities for local communities.
