5.3.5. Financing and Monitoring of proposed actions

Any planning process requires monitoring and follow-up of the results and sources of funding for the implementation of the proposed actions. This program offers actions to obtain investment resources for tourism development and the implementation of monitoring, control, and accountability mechanisms. In this specific case, creating a stamp of tourist promotion for the District that affects the contracts signed by it, is an important proposal. A Tourism Tax for visitor is another option, it would be colleted by hoteliers; it would charge staying in any type of regulated accomodation. Also, the adaptation of Tourist Control Points in the accesses to Minca, Buritaca, Mendihuaca, Don Diego, and Quebrada Valencia as a strategy of control and regulation of the tourist activities carried out in these sectors, guaranteeing, in turn, the collection generation for the execution of sustainable tourism development projects in the beneficiary communities. It also proposes the District Tourism Fund creation to secure the investment resources required for the execution of plans, projects, and actions aimed at the sustainable tourism development of the District and the promotion of entrepreneurship. The main sources of fund funding will be the Tourism Promotion Stamp, the income generated by the Tourist Control Points, the jetties and dispatch points, and own resources of the District Mayor's Office, the local mayors' offices external organizations through cooperation projects. The management of international cooperation resources will require technological tools that facilitate the process. Therefore, acquiring one that makes the report of opening calls for the subsidy to tourism and cultural development projects of the main cooperation funds is taken into account.
