The block of organizations and associations promoting Socially Responsible Business Culture in Puerto Vallarta and Bahía de Banderas held a first meeting with the head of the Jalisco Ministry of Tourism (SECTURJAL), Ms. Vanessa Pérez Lamas, to whom they presented the progress in the investigations of the Integral Tourism Observatory (OIT) derived from the "Vías" program in its strategic axes.
The aforementioned, in order to soon establish an intervention action plan for the prevention of sexual violence in Children and Adolescents (NNA) that directly affects the companies of the Tourism Sector of Puerto Vallarta and other destinations in the state of Jalisco.
Dr. Jorge Villanueva Hernandez, president of the Businessmen's Association of Puerto Vallarta and Banderas Bay (AEBBA), said he was satisfied with all the research work developed by the Integral Tourism Observatory (OIT) on the subject of child sexual abuse (CSA), since "this gives us a lot of solidity in making decisions and taking actions".
One of the agreements established in this first meeting is that AEBBA, through the Integral Tourism Observatory, will share with SECTURJAL information on the awareness and training workshops on corporate social responsibility that have been carried out as part of the intervention strategies in the Metropolitan Interstate Tourism Zone.
Ms. Vanessa Perez, Secretary of Tourism of the State, said that it could be considered whether these workshops, which are aimed at companies in the tourism region, would be included in a program that the Secretariat plans to launch this year and that has to do with training, professionalization and certification processes.
The head of SECTURJAL said, "if you have no objection, we could add these workshops to the academic offer we are going to have", specifying that they would be included in the offer with classroom and/or virtual modality. This would be within the reach of other localities where this same problem is detected and where the transfer of the "VÍAS" program model can be made.
