Undersecretary of Tourism Laureano Schvartzman highlighted that “when the administration plans to promote tourism, it places the city's resident at the center of the scene. We seek to generate awareness and sensitivity so that every resident acts as a host when encountering tourists,” he began.
Thus, the head of Tourism remarked on the importance of working together with other state agencies, as well as with the private sector. In this sense, he maintained that “I find it fundamental to include children from schools. This program is aimed at children from public and private educational establishments. The Departmental Directorate of Schools joined the project; they are very interested and even declared the program of educational interest, which classifies us as the only city in the province and one of the few in the country to initiate this type of proposal,” he indicated.
For his part, the Departmental Director of Schools Julio Barrios remarked that “this is a classroom projection where students in the fifth grade of primary school and the fifth year of secondary school will have the possibility to tour different points of the city on the Tourist Bus. The program will operate on Tuesdays for primary school and Thursdays for secondary school,” he announced.
Finally, the director of the educational establishment Julio Gallardo maintained that the proposal is a new experience for the students. “They will activate the eyes of the tourist while being locals, and mainly they will be able to apply some knowledge that they have already developed or acquired from the first to the fifth year in school,” he declared.
