The Bioceanic Corridor was presented as an opportunity to consolidate new tourist circuits and strengthen regional connectivity between Paraguay and Bolivia. The initiative aims to position the Gran Chaco as an international destination for nature, culture, and history, as discussed during the talk "Sustainable Tourism and Economic Development Between Two Peoples," organized by institutions from both countries.
Paraguay's Minister of Tourism, Jacinto Santa María, highlighted that tourism has significant integrative power, connecting territories, cultures, and people, while also generating opportunities for communities and strengthening sustainable development. He emphasized that the Bioceanic Corridor represents a historic opportunity to boost regional connectivity and promote the Gran Chaco internationally.
The event was organized by CEPAD, NATIVA, Redes Chaco, and the Binational Bolivian-Paraguayan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, with support from public, private, academic, and civil society organizations from both countries. According to Paraguay's National Secretariat of Tourism (Senatur), the meeting reaffirmed the commitment of Paraguay and Bolivia to work in a coordinated manner to promote tourism that values the conservation of natural and cultural heritage, strengthens local economies, and deepens bilateral integration.
