The project aims at the following specific objectives:
- That CORSATUR has a tourism information tool to monitor the establishment of investment parameters and tourism development to increase national and international tourism.
- That CORSATUR has a system of modules for the administration and management of tourism information for the processes of analysis and decision-making
- That CORSATUR has the tourist information required for the development of the Tourism Satellite Account (CST) under the parameters established by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO).
The implementation of the Statistical Information System for CORSATUR in El Salvador highlights the importance of data-driven decision making in the tourism sector. By providing a comprehensive tourism information tool, the project aims to strengthen investment and development in the sector, ultimately increasing national and international tourism. What are some potential challenges in collecting and analyzing tourism data, and how can they be addressed?
