Third Workshop of the Series: Forests (2010)

Taller para comunidades indígenas y locales de América Latina y el Caribe sobre nuevas tecnologías de la información, turismo y biodiversidad en ecosistemas forestales
Ver versión en
español
The SCBD organized the third workshop of the series on new information and web-based technologies, in partnership with UNEP ROLAC in Panama, and with support from the Government of Spain. The thematic of the third workshop is forest basins. It focussed on Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), a region where several indigenous and local communities have developed tourism products in and around forest areas. Participants in the workshop used web-based tools to more effectively communicate the biodiversity concepts of their biodiversity-friendly tourism products. This workshop brought together more than 20 participants from Latin America and the Caribbean. The workshop took place in Panama City, Panama, 6-8 April 2010.
As was for the first and second workshops,
The main objectives of the workshop were:
To support the development and management of biodiversity-friendly tourism activities;
To support new information and web-based technology capacity of indigenous and community-based tourism operators;
To support the marketing of culturally and biologically sustainable aspects of indigenous tourism products via Internet;
Network and exchange information; share and compile approaches to specific challenges in order to develop best practices;
Use successful tools from the previous workshops and refine them for application by current participants and future workshops.
Workshop Participation:
Participants were selected according to the following criteria:
Participants are from a country in the Latin America and Caribbean region;
Participants are indigenous or traditional community leaders in tourism as entrepreneurs, policymakers or advisors, and active in existing and functioning tourism operators. The tourism products they manage include areas with significant biodiversity (parks, community or private protected areas in forest ecosystems);
Participants, or their constituents or representatives, should have access to the Internet and worldwide web-based tools for information, marketing, and networking;
Participants can disseminate the methodology and results of the workshop within existing networks and of their home region of origin, after the workshop; and
Geographical and gender balance, cost of transportation and significance of indigenous tourism in each area will also be used as additional criteria.

Tercer taller de la serie: Ecosistemas forestales (2010)
Taller para comunidades indígenas y locales de América Latina y el Caribe sobre nuevas tecnologías de la información, turismo y biodiversidad en ecosistemas forestales
La SCDB organizo el tercer taller de la serie de talleres sobre nuevas tecnologías de la información y tecnologías basadas en la Web en colaboración con PNUMA-ORPALC (Panamá) y con el apoyo del Gobierno de España. La temática del tercer taller fue los ecosistemas forestales. El taller estuvo focalizado para la región de América Latina y el Caribe, una región en donde varias comunidades indígenas y locales han desarrollado productos turísticos desde adentro y en los alrededores de las zonas forestales. Los participantes del taller utilizaron medios e instrumentos basados en la Web para difundir mejor sus productos turísticos compatibles con la conservación de la diversidad biológica. Este taller reunió a más de veinte participantes de América Latina y el Caribe. El taller tuvo lugar en la Ciudad de Panamá, Panamá, 6-8 Abril 2010.
Conforme a los dos primeros talleres,
Los principales objetivos del tercer taller serán:
Apoyar el desarrollo y dirección de actividades de turismo adaptadas a la biodiversidad;
Apoyar la capacitación sobre nuevas tecnologías de información basadas en la Web a operadores de turismo indígena y de turismo comunitario;
Apoyar la comercialización de los aspectos culturalmente y biológicamente sostenibles de productos turísticos indígenas y comunitarios a través de Internet;
Interconectar e intercambiar información; compartir y compilar enfoques a desafíos específicos a fin de desarrollar las mejores prácticas;
Usar las herramientas exitosas de los talleres previos y refinarlos para ser usados por los participantes actuales y en futuros talleres.
Los participantes:
Los participantes fueron elegidos basados en los siguientes criterios:
Los participantes deben proceder de un país de la región de América Latina y el Caribe;
Los participantes deben ser líderes de comunidades indígenas o tradicionales en turismo como empresarios, políticos o consejeros, y activos en operadores de turismo existentes y en funcionamiento. Los productos de turismo que ellos administren incluyen áreas con biodiversidad importante (parques, áreas protegidas privadas o comunitarias en ecosistemas forestales);
Los participantes, o sus miembros o representantes, deberán tener acceso a Internet y a herramientas para información, mercadotecnia e interconexión a nivel global basadas en la Web;
Los participantes deberán tener la capacidad de reproducir las metodologías y los resultados del taller dentro de redes existentes y de su región de origen, después del taller; y
El equilibrio geográfico y de género, los costos de transporte y la importancia del turismo indígena en cada área son criterios adicionales a ser considerados.
