CURRENT MONITORING PROCESSES

SITUR Valle annually measures the sustainability of tourism in three dimensions: tourists, providers of tourism services, and residents of Cali.

For tourists, their level of tourist satisfaction and the number of tourists visiting the destination are measured.
For providers of tourism services, the degree of implementation of activities based on the Colombian Technical Standards for Sustainable Tourism is measured.
For resident households, the degree of impact of tourism and satisfaction with the existence of tourism in the city are measured.
These measurements have the three essential components of socio-cultural, economic, and environmental sustainability. These measurements are integrated into the municipality’s tourism sustainability management system in the monitoring, tracking, and continuous improvement matrix, which is used to make ongoing decisions for the destination.
