Box 14973 22 La Paz - Bolivia 24 Micronews Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock AD/BOL/99/D69 Project and Rural Development "Articulation of Alternative Vice-Ministry of Development with the National Alternative Development Planning System" NUEVO GRAN ANGULAR A nd today... Within the Alternative Development framework, tourism is one of the strategic economic activities to consolidate the gains achieved so far in the fight against drugs, thanks to the efforts made by every Bolivian citizen. Essentially, this is because tourism is one of the most important activities for speeding up regional economic growth. A clear example of this is its potential for generating a large number of related services, whether they are in the production, consumption or service sectors. This immediately brings with it the creation of new jobs and income for families. The Tropics of Cochabamba and the Yungas of La Paz have exceptionally favourable conditions for tourism development and promotion, especially in ecotourism and adventure tourism, which are currently the areas of the tourism market with the highest demand among both Bolivian and international tourists. These favourable conditions include the high levels of biodiversity, incalculable wealth of plant and animal species, protected areas, the variety of ecological strata and the indigenous ethnic groups who live in these tropical regions. The Alternative Development Programme is aware of the enormous advantages of turning the Tropics of Cochabamba and the Yungas of La Paz into major tourist destinations. This is why it is currently taking forward important initiatives to support tourism through its different projects. The CONCADE project, for example, is involved in the construction and maintenance of local roads, as well as promoting handicrafts activities. The AD/BOL/00/E07 project is carrying out vocational training and promoting small businesses, while the AD/BOL/97/C23 project is working on the management, conservation and utilisation of forestry resources, and encouraging flower-growing activities. The Alternative Development Programme is also supporting the production and marketing of alternative products, environmental protection, training and extension activities. Together, these initiatives all represent forms of support to the tourism sector. Nevertheless, there is still a great deal to be done in the areas of road infrastructure, improving access to the attractions, signposting and basic sanitation, setting up tourism circuits, promotion and publicity. These and other requirements need to be addressed efficiently so that the Tropics of Cochabamba and the Yungas of La Paz can speed up growth and make their economies more dynamic. They will be able to achieve this by developing the alternative and sustainable economic activity that tourism represents. Everyone in Bolivia is hoping these results will be achieved, but they can only come about if the state and society work together. The private sector has a leading role to play by making investments in the tourism sector. The Bolivian government is making a great effort to provide alternatives to the illicit coca- growing economy, in the framework of the Dignity Plan, and tourism promotion forms part of this effort. Tourism has the potential to create new jobs, increase income and improve living conditions for everyone in our country. WALDO TELLERÍA VICE-MINISTER OF ALTERNATIVE DEVELOPMENT NUEVO GRAN ANGULAR Bolivian Government declares 2001 National Tourism Year Over 30% of Bolivia’s territory has been designated as national parks and protected areas. This provides the country with exceptionally favourable conditions for developing a tourist industry with an emphasis on ecotourism and adventure tourism. 2001 has been declared National Tourism Year by the Bolivian government under Supreme Decree Nº 26032. Without a doubt, this initiative is an acknowledgement of Bolivia’s enormous tourism potential. It is also a clear demonstration of the government’s determination to promote this little-explored area of the economy, so that it can form part of the country’s productive base in an efficient, effective and professional way. The government has therefore decided that there is a need to promote and strengthen the tourist Exuberant vegetation in the Tropics of Cochabamba. industry, given its potential for the private sector need to work In addition, a "Strategy for the country’s economic development. together to build the necessary Development of Sustainable The General Economic and Social infrastructure, carry out technical Tourism in Bolivia 2001-2005" has Development Plan 1997-2002, for training and skills development been designed by the Vice-Ministry example, mentions tourism as an programmes, and undertake a of Tourism, a division of the export that should be made large-scale campaign to inform the Ministry of Foreign Trade and available by promoting the public about the enormous Investment.

The domestic tourism demand also grew considerably in the 1990s. In this context, it is worth pointing out that the main cities visited in Bolivia are La Paz, Santa Cruz and Cochabamba. Together, these three cities account for 81.3% of foreign tourism (visitors arriving from abroad) and 68% of domestic tourism. The figures presented clearly indicate that tourism is increasing. The numbers of both international visitors and domestic tourists are growing, a trend that bodes well for APRIL 2001 5 NUEVO GRAN ANGULAR investment in the sector.

  • Community Management of Wild Vicuña in Bolivia As a Relevant Case to Explore Community- Based Conservation Under Common Property Regimes, As Explained in Chapter 1
    Community-based Conservation and Vicuña Management in the Bolivian Highlands by Nadine Renaudeau d’Arc Thesis submitted to the University of East Anglia for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2005 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that no quotation from the thesis, nor any information derived therefrom, may be published without the author’s prior, written consent. Abstract Abstract Current theory suggests that common property regimes, predicated on the community concept, are effective institutions for wildlife management. This thesis uses community-based conservation of vicuña in the Bolivian highlands as a case study to re-examine this theory. Vicuña is a wild South American camelid living in the high Andes. Its fibre is highly valued in international markets, and trade of vicuña fibre is controlled and regulated by an international policy framework. Different vicuña management systems have been developed to obtain fibre from live- shorn designated vicuña populations. This thesis analyses whether the Bolivian case study meets three key criteria for effective common property resource management: appropriate partnerships across scale exist; supportive local-level collective action institutions can be identified; and deriving meaningful benefits from conservation is possible. This thesis adopts a qualitative approach for the collection and analysis of empirical data. Data was collected from 2001 to 2003 at different levels of governance in Bolivia, using a combination of ethnographic techniques, and methods of triangulation. Community-level research was undertaken in Mauri-Desaguadero and Lipez-Chichas fieldwork sites.

  • Science Helps to Solve International Water Conflicts Case: the Mauri River
    Science helps to solve international water conflicts Case: The Mauri River Author(s) and affiliation: • Juan Carlos Alurralde Tejada, Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores del Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia • Jorge Molina, Instituto de Hidrología e Hidráulica; Universidad Mayor de San Simón • Elena Villarroel, Agua Sustentable • Paula Pacheco, Agua Sustentable Abstract The sustainable management of water resources is essential for achieving development goals, poverty alleviation, protection of ecosystems and social and political stability in the region. Water management in transboundary basins is a potential source of conflict increasing in the last decades. In the past 50 years, in the world, there have been 37 serious disputes involving violence in relation to water in transboundary basins (United Nations, 2004). International agreements on water courses need to be more specific, an agreement for better cooperation involves identifying clear allocations, but flexible and water-quality standards, taking into account both hydrological events, changes in watershed dynamics, social participation and international law as the political agenda in the region and the countries involved. In South America more than 60% of the territory belongs to transboundary basins where unresolved international conflicts related to water are installed in part of the southern cone region of the Americas (Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay and Peru) some dating back several decades and others are emerging in this century. These conflicts coupled with the strong increase in demand on limited freshwater resources and the increase in the variability of supply due to climate change scenario projected a potential international crisis and insecurity in our region. In water management on transboundary basins, interests come to play sensitive issues and there must be found equitable solutions in both political and social development approaches and practices and encourage closer cooperation for mutual benefit of the peoples on both sides of the border.
