Create a CTC in which you teach to the visitors the lifestyle of the montuvios. How come? By demonstrating how you use some tool or elements for harvesting and agriculture, to let them know how people tend to use plants for medicine purposes thanks to traditional knowledge. The purpose of this is to let the visitor be engaged into a montuvio lifestyle, with activities prepared by them, taught by them and managed by them.

1. Strenghten the links with the community members and train them: guidance techniques, quality of service, all of these with the essence of the community.
2. Create publicity campaigns to promote the destinations and let people know about them, because most of the people don't even know about these places.
3. Better management of the CTCs by integrating stakeholders related with the community.
4. Generate associations with the community members to let them know they can count on them and help them in the tourism development of the destination.
5. Promote the growth of local businesses, provide service and encourage investment and creation of new ventures within the communities,  such as food, accommodation, among others.
