Important participation of Guayaquil in TravelMart LatinAmerica

Guayaquil is a port city in Ecuador, known as the gateway to the Pacific beaches and the Galapagos Islands. It is one of the most emerging destinations in the world for the meetings segment and during TravelMart LatinAmerica we had the chance to interview tourism officials of the destination. They told us: "We are one of the main cities in Ecuador, where the greatest amount of foreign exchange flows, we have grown a lot in tourism and we are working very hard with the MICE segment because our infrastructure is world class and with nature tourism . We also have a wide variety of historical and cultural heritage. "

"Our gastronomy has been growing and today we are developing gastronomic tourism. Cocoa for us is our identity, since from here it arrived from the ascent, it was dried and packed to be exported from our port. For that reason we are going to inaugurate a museum in a heritage house of 1927 ".

"The emitting markets are mainly Latin, but we are also working very hard in Europe and the United States, because we are in the center of the world. The progress in connectivity helps a lot since we have been able to recover the routes of airlines with direct connections to the key markets. "
