Urban and rural local development
projects share common goals with tourism insofar as they aim
to improve the quality of life, the attractiveness of
locales and to increase economic opportunities and incomes
for residents. In Santa Rosa de Copan a World Bank financed
project has reinforced links between the city and the nearby
archeological site of Copan in Honduras, building pathways,
reception areas, and providing signage and guides to the
ruins and to the city as well. The Santa Rosa project has
also reinforced local governance, by developing a meaningful
role for the municipality with the Archeological Institute
of Honduras and the Ministry of Tourism. Finally, it has
established a special program to offer locally-owned tourism
products with marketing, certification and access to credits
and small grants. Projects in Lake Titicaca, Bolivia, Puerto
Limon, Costa Rica and Vilcanota Valley, Peru have also
invested in the cities' rich cultural history, while
projects in Mexico and the Peruvian lowlands have developed
tourist destinations in rural communities, improving local
quality of life, and local incomes. |
