📋 Tender Overview
Interinstitutional Ministry of Tourism signed Framework Cooperation Agreement with the General Directorate of Technical and Vocational Education on November 10, 2025. This agreement aims to facilitate joint actions, where both institutions will jointly develop and implement cooperation programs and projects, which will be subject to supplementary agreements. Acting Minister of Tourism Ana Claudia Caram highlighted the importance of signing this agreement with UTU (the National Technological University), stating, “This institution does so much in the interior of the country; it builds, professionalizes, and forges strong ties in each of our communities. Therefore, this agreement reaffirms our efforts and our commitment because tourism needs professionalization, it needs professionalization in the interior, it needs to generate knowledge built from and for the territory.” She also indicated that “in this strategic alliance, we will reach our young people, our younger generations, much more effectively, but also many people who are training and making tourism a profession throughout their lives. It is important to generate new jobs, dignified sources of work that will allow for a better Uruguay.” For her part, UTU's Director General, Virginia Verderese, stated, “There is much work to be done, a long road ahead, but above all, we have colleagues who understand the institutional logic, and that is extremely important to us. Tourism is a growing sector that is establishing itself strongly, and we have a shared responsibility to move forward.” The agreement establishes cooperation between the parties, including the exchange of information in the educational, cultural, scientific, and technological fields; coordinated organization of courses, conferences, and seminars on topics of interest; and joint and/or coordinated implementation of training activities in specific areas of operation for the General Directorate of Technical and Vocational Education. Furthermore, the National Social Tourism System (SNTS) is included in this agreement. This system, developed and coordinated by the Ministry of Tourism (MINTUR) along with other public and private institutions, including the DGETP-UTU, aims to provide opportunities for people with limited resources, young people, people with disabilities, senior citizens, children, workers, and other groups to travel for recreational, sporting, and cultural purposes under appropriate conditions. Social tourism initiatives aim to ensure that beneficiaries, in addition to visiting destinations, can enjoy their free time and recreation, thus promoting a better quality of life.
