         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. Los Frailes is set in Machalilla National Park just outside of Puerto López on Ecuador’s southern coast and is often considered to be the most beautiful beach in the country. There isn’t a specific number to call because it is an open area, but you can hire a tour guide to have a more personalized experience.<br>2. It’s a beach that can be reached by car or you can hike to get there. This route also provides the opportunity to see the coast from an outstanding viewpoint situated in the top of a rock. Therefore, it is a good option for sightseeing and enjoying the beach as well as the natural park which offers a variety of flora and fauna.<br>3. As the Covid situation is increasing, it has affected the tourism in places like Los Frailes which depends on the amount of visits that it has during the year. For reactivating the tourism, it is important to have a good sanitary system. However, it isn’t the mayor problem. As the routes are closed to keep the spare of the virus controlled, it’s highly urgent to find a way to facilitate people’s mobilization to this tourist places. For instance, the government could offer controlled tours for a specific amount of people (no more than 15 to keep the social distancing issue) once a month. They could be offered to all the cities of Ecuador and the countries that are around. The tours would be affordable and would offer the opportunity to visit not only Los Frailes but also the city where it is located. Hence, the tourists could buy souvenirs, eat local food and share their experience with others through social media to encourage people to take the tours without worrying about their health or the transportation. <br><br></div>]]></description>

First of all, we will contact companies that provide us the necessary resources, for example masks, sanitizers, electronic thermometers and so on, to prevent infections.  Also, the marketing staff will implement adds on social media, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc, to encourage people to visit again the Park. One of the campgaines will be the Team Tour  which is for a group of friends or family, no more than fifteen people, for an affordable price of $400. The tour consist in 4 days and 3 nights in "Lodge Rita", 1 day of camping, a horse riding in Bombuscaro river. And a tour through the eccentric forest of the National Park.<br>Furthermore, all the staff involved in the diverse activities of the National Park, such as guides and instructors, must wear masks and use sanitizers and the tourists will be provided with them once they get to the extraction point to start with the tour.   Then, the guides should provide some rules that must be followed to preserve the ecosystem and the health of the visitors. <br>Another important point is the addition of more signs located at strategic points along the route to keep remembering the security measures. Since we are getting out from the pandemic and don’t want an outbreak of the virus, there will be a limit of people for each trip to keep crowds to a minimum. </div><div>Food and lodging depend on the hotel visitors take.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. This park is part of the Tungurahua's government, in Ambato, who made of this place a tourist attraction.<br>2. You can do a lot og outide activities with the whole family. You can also sightsee because there are many magnificent highlands lookouts until you reach to the highest top.<br>3. Before that "Parque Provincial de la Familia" opens their door to the public, it is necessary to comfort them about the idea of visiting this park again. Therefore, we will do some digital advertising. We can ask to a few famous Ecuadorians youtubers to make a video in this park, doing all the activities and showing differents lookouts. Of course, they follow the safety regulations while they explain them. That will increase the public curiosity and encourage them to visit this wonderful place.  For the moment, the group activities, such as soccer or basketball, will be not available. But, new activities are coming, fruit and vegetables orchards are going to be public access. They can pick the fruit or vegetable of their choice and pay for it. That money will be for the park maintenance and extra expenses due to the pandemic.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>1.</strong> Yasuní National Park is Located in the Amazon region, in the provinces of Orellana and Pastaza, between the Napo and Curaray rivers. The contact numbers are <mark>(06) 288-2500 / (06) 238 2141</mark>. The type of business is tourism, there are excursions in the jungle with diversity of flora and fauna.<br><strong>2.</strong> This park offers nature tourism, the Amazon habitat brings a great connection with nature, the park has places for tourists to explore such as “The Laguna and community of Añangu” where they are allowed to take a pleasant canoe ride to appreciate the place and its landscapes. Another activity is walking and taking pictures of all the species of animals or flowers / plants they come across.<br><strong>3.</strong> In a business it is important to know how to react to situations that usually overcome us. The pandemic caused several businesses decrease their production, one of the most important is tourism. As responsable citizen I must prioritize the good service and care of ohers. To have access to this park, one of the requirements is to carry vaccines yellow fever and tetanus. In addition to this, other existing vaccines should be added to keep a more rigid control with all staff and visitors. Some suggestions to keep the business movement active while being careful could be creating a new access for visits in a virtual way, interaction with people should not be greatly affected if everyone keeps a proper distance for this type of circumstances. Taking a virtual tour would not be something new, nowadays there are even those who pay for online concerts around the world, creating a great impact too. It is true that in a certain way it is not something that we live accustomed to, but this could be a new and pleasant experience, getting to know a new place and everything it offers from the comfort of your home, learning new things in a faster way. Contributing with other means of transportation, such as the bicycle since it does not generate contamination. Also, it'ts important to have a security equipment to protect the place and all the species found here. Having the implements to avoid contagions. To keep more control we can start making a schedule for all activities and installing security cameras all over the place, this whole process is necessary in order to collect enough information. Making people feel confident and attracted to visit these kinds of places that offer recreation and at the same time promoting the use of the internet, with platforms that give more information to the interested public about this business. Placing the respective safety regulations posters to keep tourists alert and cautious. Posters that are very specific, with clear and brief messages. Each one of them must have the same purpose, create awareness and keep a posture to respect the rules.</div>]]></description>

There are some interesting and enjoyable museums, one of them is Salango Museum where you can know more about the culture and the history. There are some stores which sells traditional things and souvenirs.<br><br>Businesses is one of the things that have been affected due to the pandemic and people need to learn how to continue in this new phase in our lives, following the rules that the government has explained us.<br>After the pandemic, the activities should continue and improve the way they develop their sells, assuring the people’s security. One of the important steps they need to follow is the use of the instruments to avoid getting infected, as we know alcohol, masks and other kind of instructions that people need to obey. Puerto Lopez can improve its businesses if the citizen avoids throwing garbage on the streets or in the ocean. A good view can be helpful if we want to have a good tourism and improvements there. <br>A clean environment is the main phase that they need to complete, then people can offer more activities that include cultural events where tourists not only can learn about the history but how to preserve and to take care of the place, following the restrictions of physical distancing.  The different restaurants that we can find there, need to improve the presentation and the dishes that they offer, because people are looking for new things to see and to taste.  The restaurants have to have instruments or machines in the entrance to disinfect customers.<br>The Major of the place should develop more green places and parks with advertisements to remember people the instructions they have to follow, there tourists can have a good time and the citizens can open stores for offering their products.  Another thing that this place needs to improve is the streets, because when it rains the majority of the streets has potholes and there could be accidents and the view could get worst.  Another thing that people can offer is virtual tours, if the tourists do not want to go out from their homes, the same with the products that they sell, each store can create pages to offer products and to deliver them in a sure way. </div>]]></description>

El Panecillo, Quito (cordillera de los Andes) This traditional place offers people an extended list of other places for sightseeing, we can obtain more information with this number or sending an e-mail <strong><em>+593 96 989 2188</em></strong><em>/ </em><a href="mailto:info@viajandox.com?subject=Consulta%20sobre%20art%C3%ADculos%20patrocinados%20%7C%20Ecuador"><strong><em>info@viajandox.com<br></em></strong></a><strong><em>2. </em></strong>It is an educational and general sightseeing, is a high hill  located between southern and central Quito. El panecillo provides to tourist views of important and amazing attractions such a: La olla del Panecillo, this is a type of cistern that was used to water gardens and crops; The virgin of Panecillo that is an aluminum statue of the virgin of Quito, and the most important lookout of the city, from there tourists will be able to appreciate the whole Ecuadorian capital and take spectacular photos. <br><br>3. What I will do as a responsible citizen to improve the tourism in this amazing place after the pandemic that has greatly affected our country is to create attractive posters or images offering a bunch of activities, the I will share them on my social networks and with friends who have the same love for tourism.  I would also like to do some virtual meetings to talk about El Panecillo and all the good things that tourist would find if they decided to experiment this adventure, in those virtual meetings I will presents some pictures to attract the people’s attention. Of course, if tourists want to come to El Panecillo, they must have the proper equipment to protect themselves from coronavirus. This equipment includes: <strong>a mask, alcohol or antibacterial gel, glasses</strong>, caps, and coats (the one that in bold will be mandatory), tourists will also respect the new normal which is to keep the necessary distance to avoid problem with authorities.</div><div>As I said before, I will share all the necessary information on my social networks, because I think it is a great opportunity to take advantage of them. Nowadays, the environment plays an important roll in our lives, because if the place is not well cared or eco-friendly it will not attract people’s attention. That is why it is very important that we take care of our nature, because it is going to give a good appearance of the people who live in the touristic place. </div><div><br><br></div><div> <br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. My place is Guano; this is located an approximately twenty minutes outside Riobamba, the small village of Guano is situated in the Chimborazo province. The town is small and can be explored by foot, and there are a few noteworthy attractions and activities that visitors can discover while in Guano. E-MAIL gadmunicipialguano@gmail.com <strong><em>+598 32900133</em></strong><br><br></div><div>2. Considered as a valley, Guano is surrounded by picturesque landscapes. It is a destination where ancient cultural tradition can be seen in action as it is known for producing the most beautiful carpets. The Guano museum also has much to offer. It showcases the culture of the city and its history through displays of textiles. Its most popular exhibit is that of a mummy. <br><br></div><div>3.  Due to the pandemic, and its restrictions; Guano has been affected.  Five months has passing by since we have been in quarantine; many companies are in bankruptcy. <br>My idea to have economy back is first of all by selling the famous Guano’s carpets through internet by showing throught video the whole process, how weavers clean all the products and themselves ; this type of rugs are created from a hundred percent pure wool and it makes it more cherished and unique .<br>Virtual museum,  people can visit without take a step outside home, sell tickets through internet and make visitors have an incredible experience.  <br><br></div><div>Other way to get money is by his most recognized attractions, El Altar, and the peaks of Chimborazo and Tungurahua. There are regulations to obey such as gather less than 10 people; they must be young between 18 to 30 and they have to had their Covid-19 test done and the guides tourist to, use the safety equipment and every pay they do, will be by credit card just to not  manipulated money.<br> <br>The companies that are involved in this poyect should follow  extreme rules just to assure tourist how safe is visit The Guano. Internet has an influence here becase this platform , will show visitors the prices, rules to obey, forms to fill in and more, just to keep distance between tourists and companies owners. <br><br>Ministry of Tourism  with Health Ministry should create alliances in order get free COVID-19 test for the people who want to start business. <br><br>Goverment , Financy Ministry and Guano's municipality must developer techniques to reactivate economy and let small business open again. <br><br></div><div>Start a business is not easy as it seems, even so it is better than going outside and risks our lives, I have visited Guano once and its sprawling lawns and its very peaceful atmosphere got me in love.  As a citizen I wish nothing but the best to my country, we had facing the worst and now we are able to start again. I hope my ideas worth to The Guano city, and I would love to visit this amazing place one more time.  <br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. Murcielago beach is located in the city of Manta in the province of Manabí, and covers approximately 1,700 meters of beach. The name of "Murcielago" is due to the fact that the surface area resembles the silhouette of this mammal with its wings spread.<br>This is an open space and there are no specific contact numbers, but if you are looking to travel you can get information about hotel reservations on internet pages. <br><br>2. It is a calm and cozy beach that receives national and foreign tourists. The Murcielago has the Scenic Malecon, made up of restaurants, recreational sports areas, craft markets, bars and other places for fun and relaxation. <br>Very close to the beach are the Manta shopping center and the Lorgio Pinargote Coliseum where different concerts are held.<br><br>3. The Murcielago beach is one of the most visited attractions in Manta, but it is desolate due to the coronavirus pandemic, so in order to reactivate tourism on this beautiful beach, avoiding the spread of this pandemic, I could propose:</div><ul><li>Put up posters with the necessary prevention measures.</li><li>Fine people who do not have hydro alcoholic gel or wear a mask.</li><li>Clean and disinfect public showers or footbaths daily.</li><li>Place authorities or cameras in different areas of the beach to help control the distance between people. </li></ul><div>Each of these ideas should be considered to reactivate the tourism, thus helping to take care of the health and safety of visitors.</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The lagoons are located about half an hour of Tena beyond the cities of Pano and Talag. The phone numbers you can call are <mark>(09)94650391 / (09)93470325 (06)2310497 / (06)3019120.</mark> Many tour companies offer jungle excursions that include this place and other in the area<strong>.</strong> </div><ul><li>La blue lagoon (Tena Ecuador) a Paradise in the jungle is located in the Amazon. The inhabitants of the site offer the service of lodging and gastronomy. The blue lagoon has 3 cabins to accommodate local or foreign tourist. The typical dishes offered are tilapia and chontacuro and Creole chicken broth, it has a number of very interesting tourist attractions such as: natural pools, waterfalls, fishing, and ancestral knowledge of culture.</li><li>According to what happened about the pandemic, many are the tourist places affected since as a responsible citizen is to provide new alternatives that can help us all first starting with the tourist place have all the resources requested that are signage to keep the distance, to have a surgical mask, liquid, alcohol, thermometer would be<strong> </strong>the main thing to be able to start with the post-pandemic business. After indicating the proper safety rules in the tourist place. A good alternative would be to locate the Safety regulations on every corner of our houses and post on the different social networks: facebook, Twitter, Instagram. For example a suggestion of safety regulations can be if you are sick avoid going to very crowded places preferable stay at home and do not try to visit any tourist place.After making<strong> </strong>posters of safety regulations or by social networks you could keep interacting with people by calling the phone numbers published on social networks to make virtual visits and indicating the new security rules and that offers the tourist place.I am sure that this new Safety regulations post on different social networks will help to open the tourist places and as responsible people let us become aware. To think something positive would be to implement tourist visits with a minimum of 10 people and only allow 1 day a week to visit the blue lagoon tourist place using the safety equipment such as their surgical masks and carrying  their own food and utensils and not forget the use of alcohol. A last resort that could be implemented would be to make a video on how to become aware of how take care of ourselves due to the pandemic.<strong><br></strong><br></li></ul><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The Galapagos Islands can be visited throughout the year. Carry weather appropriate outfits in case of rains or extremely harsh sun.<br><br>Santa Cruz Island is one of the most beautiful islands in Ecuador’s Galápagos National park. It has full reserves of natural resources. The island is best known for its astonishing sandy shorelines like El Garrapatero. The town of Puerto Ayora is the archipelago’s tourism centre. Santa Cruz is the largest as well as the most developed islands of Ecuador.<br><br>1.The capital of Santa Cruz, Puerto Ayora is around a 45-minute drive from the ferry point. Once you reach the shores of Santa Cruz Island, you can hire taxis to take you anywhere on the island.<br>The ferry will incur a small charge. It will hardly take around three minutes to reach the island by ferry but the entire process from the airport to the island would take around an hour or so.<br>To contact with some hosting in the Island you should visit <a href="https://www.expedia.com/es/Isla-Santa-Cruz-Hoteles.d6053670.Guia-Viajes-Hoteles">https://www.expedia.com/es/Isla-Santa-Cruz-Hoteles.d6053670.Guia-Viajes-Hoteles</a><br><br><br>2. The things to do if  you travel to the island are:<br>Wildlife watching, Scuba Diving, Snorkelling, Hiking, Kayaking, Surfing. You can have many adventures in this Island which is full of beautiful sights.<br><br>3. I think that to reactivate the tourism, is essential to do it slowly, lets start with open tourist´s curiosity virtually and desire to learn about othe Island and its culture, Experience the Island through virtual tours, webcams, and live streams;   and seek out ways to stay connected. Once people had conected with the Island,, and then, decided to visit it, implement mesures of biosecurity, for example everyone should wear a mask, not to exeed the limit of people and keep distance as we know perfectly. But the Island should enhance cleaning and sanitation, implement technological solutions to address fears to reduce unnecessarily human close contacts. Do a lot of marketing and maybe to reduce costs of traveling and hosting in the hotels because life in Galapagos is a little expensive. Santa Cruz Island is beautiful I hope all of us could visit it someday. We should.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. El Rincon del Sur is an estuary of the parish Chanduy, it is in the province of Santa Elena; it is an entertainment site. To communicative with this site called numbers:  <br>Gad: 2909124<br>Accommodation: 0986509700- Hostal la Capitania.<br>2. El Rincón del Sur is between the artisanal fishing Puerto de  Chanduy and the cantonal head. The estuary feeds each day from the tidal levels, this is the reason the estuary takes on distinct forms each day. It is ideal for bathing as a family, especially for children since there is no danger of strong currents or waves.  This estuary offers its community members of fishing with atarraya, and around it you can collect michullas, a small mollusk that is eaten in egg tortillas and ceviche, and just 1 km away you can collect crab.<br>As a citizen of this community it is an honor to promote this estuary, it is surrounded by birds and mangrove vegetation; it is a natural habitat for michullas and other marine species. Unfortunately, the pandemic has caused us to look for alternative ways to promote these entertainment venues. <br><br></div><div>It is important to create a blog with information about this place, location, activities that offer and contacts that will guide you, inform about the actions to be taken for the reopening of visits to this place.<br><br></div><div> I suggest that to carry out activities such as walks around the mangrove swamp, fishing with cast nets, and collecting crayfish, they should make calls, reserving time and day, to enhance the activity. <br>Around of estuary place small umbrellas that show the correct distance from people. Making videos promoting this place can reactivate the economy of this town.<br><br></div><div><br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>-It is made up of three waterfalls. This place is locaded in the Ecuadorian highlands in the province of Tungurahua specifically in the Baños city. It is recognized as an icon of turism in our country. <br>-To Know the waterfalls, it's necessary pass through  a bridge. From there, it can see the abundant vegetation composed of mosses, ferns, orchides and semi-jungle vegetation and also a large number of birds. And following a path you reach the top of the waterfall. <br>-We know that during the pandemic, turist places were closes. A suggestion to reactivate the turism could be create a schedule where there are days when people can visit the the place in person according to the amount established by the government, but also organize virtual tours. For this, it's necessary to have equipment such as waterproof cameras and make a lot of publicity through the most common media. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1.This is Salinas, Ecuador,  located in the coast of the country, in the province of Santa Elena. This place has lots of business, restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, discoteques, etc. There isn't an especific way to contact it because it is an opened area, so you need to go there and live the experience.<br>2. Salinas Beach, is one of the most touristic places of Ecuador,  due to its friendly people, and variety of business. The nights in this place are incredible and tourists know it very well, because they have a lot of fun.<br>3.Unfortunately, we go through a difficult situation because of Coronavirus. So, business in this beach, as responsible citizens, must take some safety regulations to receive back their usual tourism. I have an idea that could help. We already know that in this beach, street vendors are an important part of economy. Therefore, the city hall could establish special places in the beach for these kind of business where people can feel safe to buy the local products as handmade jewelry and food. What’s more, the government could establish a schedule based on the last number of the plate of a car to organize people to whether or not go to the beach. This will help to avoid the crowd and keep the social distancing while they enjoy the tourism of Salinas.</div>]]></description>

The products they offer to tourists range from specialized guides and food upon arrival at the refuge cafeteria. <br>3.  To reactivate the business economy, good ideas will be needed.<br>First of all, make good advertisements to get people's attention, in advertising we could specify that we have personal hygiene and safety measures.</div><div>One great alternative would be to make an investment for the remodeling of the refuges. We can implement marketing ideas by opening a souvenir shop where tourists can purchase different products such as clothing or accesories also upgrade the cafeteria icrease the menu of food. So we would create an attractive image of the place so that tourists feel more interested in visiting them.  </div>]]></description>

The contact number to make a reservation is (06) 236-0047. It is a commercial business. <br>2.- Cuyabeno is a rural place, which is part of the Ecuadorian Amazon. The reserve is one of the protected areas with the greatest cultural diversity in the Ecuadorian Amazon and home to indigenous communities.This place offers jungle tourism, selling crafts in a house-museum and is an highly organized canton, because is so prepared to guide its turists in the forest. </div><div> 3.- In order to reactivate tourism in Cuyabeno, one of the alternative solutions is to propose new policies that ensure the well-being of tourists through government authorities. As resposible citizens of what is happening worldwide, we need to offer our clients a safe place.<br><br></div><div>The first thing we will do is to develop a plan that allows us to promote the place in times of pandemic.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. It is located in the southern Andes of Ecuador, 33 km north-west of the city of Cuenca, within the province of Azuay.  You can contact with the administrative center through the following number (07) 237-0126 .</div><div>2.El Cajas is a rural area that is part of the national system of protected areas in Ecuador, in this place you can do nature and adventure tourism since it is surrounded by mountains from the Ecuadorian Andes, fauna and flora so you can have a direct contact with the nature and at the same time you can also do different activities such as hiking, fishing, climbing, etc.<br>3.Tourism is one of the main sources of income for our country, so it is of utmost importance to reactivate it as soon as the pandemic improves. However, many precautions must be taken. I consider that to make tourism become sustainable again, we should first start by making a virtual promotion through the media such as Facebook, Instagram,TV, radio, etc. After this, new health and hygiene protocols should be created that comply with the safety standards imposed in our country. these standards should be followed by both workers and tourists. For example, when entering and leaving the tourist attraction, visitors should be disinfected and everyone should wear face masks. As for the interaction with people, it should be a bit limited, it means that you can be close only if you go with family but in the case of strangers, they should be 2 meters away. On the other hand, for people who still do not feel ready to return to travel or visit places, they could do tourism through the Internet, for example, through live transmissions with guides, which have a minimum cost and accessible to tourists. <br><br><br></div><div> <br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Jipiro Park is located in the north of Loja city by the Jipiro River.<br>The Jipiro Recreational Park Unit (which in the palta language means, resting place), constitutes one of the main attractions of Loja. It is made up of more than 10 hectares and is also known as the Cultural Universality Park.<br>Information to get in contact:</div><ul><li><a href="mailto:festival@festivaldeloja.com?subject=Mensaje"> festival@festivaldeloja.com</a></li><li><a href="http://www.festivaldeloja.com/"> www.festivaldeloja.com</a></li></ul><div>One of its main characteristics are the nine ethno-cultural trunks represented with replicas of the most outstanding architectural and cultural expressions of humanity.<br>The 10 hectares that make up this park are surrounded by the Zamora and Jipiro rivers and it has the “Monument to the pilgrims”, made up of the Chaso lojano with his wife, the chola cuencana and the Peruvian zambo with his fighting roosters.<br>Mini zoo: The Jipiro park loja ecuador has a mini zoo, where you can see a variety of species such as: buffalo, ostriches, monkeys, turtles, ducks, geese, swans, cusumbos, parrots, macaws, lions, spectacled bears, guatuso and others.<br>Replicas: The park has replicas of the most outstanding expressions of architecture of each of the great ethnocultural trunks of humanity. Thus, the Oriental Pagoda, belonging to the Mongolian cultures, which is a bar dock of the lagoon, the Arab mosque accommodates the planetarium, the replica of St. Basillo's Cathedral in the Red Square in Moscow, is a set of slides that they descend between the onion-shaped domed towers, among other replicas.<br>Lagoon: The park also has an artificial lagoon with its "Venus" located in the center of a small island, which makes its visit even more interesting.<br>Orillas Del Zamora Park: It is a wide strip on the banks of the Zamora river in connection with the Jipiro Recreational Park, in this area the tourist finds: Kartdrome, Ecological Path, Sulfurous Waters Baths, Municipal Nursery, Orchid Garden and the Municipal Zoo.<br>Now with this situation that we are living, as is surviving to a pandemic they have taken the safest measures to keep people secure.<br>They have implanted antibacterial gel and alcohol dispensers.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. The Quilotoa lagoon is located in the Highland of Ecuador, 15 kilometers from the village of Zumbahua in Pujilí. In this place we can find hotels that offer various services such as renting horses, selling food, etc., their contact number is 0955461584.<br>2. The type of tourism that takes place in this place is hotel, cultural and educational; people can stay at the hotel and enjoy the service it offers or also rent mules or horses to tour the lagoon, they can even hire a tour guide to explain how the lagoon originated and the different cultures that surround this tourist attraction.<br>3. I think one of the measures that they should implement is reducing customers to 50%, thus avoiding crowds throughout the hotel, it would also be good if the hotel has a disinfection space for people who arrive, thus maintaining hygiene standards established by the state. <br>The cleaning of the hotel and the room must be carried out daily, using the appropriate cleaning means to avoid the accumulation of dust or residues. All door locks should also be disinfected at least three times a day, to keep everything clean. The order and cleanliness of the rooms are essential, for this reason, towels and sheets must be washed with detergent and disinfectant in hot water at least three times a week if the same guest is still there. </div><div>I also think that in each room there should be a kit with the necessary resources for any emergency and especially to disinfect.<br>A good option would be to implement a web page where people can contact the hotel to reserve their room or any service, even to organize a video call near the lagoon.</div><div>All these security measures will serve to reactivate tourism in the Quilotoa lagoon and to keep safe all people who want to visit this tourist attraction.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. This is the Machalilla National Park, it is located in Ecuador, the southwest of the province of Manabi, in Jipijapa, at 840 meters above sea level. It is mainly related to the whale watching season. You can communicate with the park by the following number (05) 230-0170 <br>2. It is one of the most visited national parks in Ecuador that contains a marine area of two nautical miles that enters the sea from the coast. Among its main tourist attractions is the Isla de la Plata and Los Frailes beach. Tourists can carry out different types of adventure, admire the coral reef systems and coexist with the abundant marine beauty.<br>3. This pandemic situation has changed a lot people's perception and priorities. The citizens prefer to save their lives before going around the country where they live and that is good because they are taking safety precautions, but the tourism that characterizes our country must start again now. That is why, in order to maintain the safety of people, this place must have staff specifically trained to guide people to maintain biosafety protocols, help them maintain the proper distance and of course there should be security guards at the entrance taking people's body temperatures. <br><br></div><div>Another option is to make the tourists use a biosafety suit to avoid unnecessary infections and not alter the flora and fauna of the place, masks and gloves (before, during, and after the tour) but we all know that masks, at least the one’s that people usually use, are not good enough to stay safe. My suggestion: In the entrance, the staff could bring a N95 mask just to ensure everyone’s safety and if it is not even enough, there could also be points where employees will have sanitizing gel and antiseptic alcohol.<br><br></div><div>But all these recommendations are made for the moment they decide to receive tourists in the place. What about if even with all that safety measures people do not want to come to Machalilla National Park? No problem! We can deal with that by using a tool that has become really popular nowadays: Internet!  Think about this for a moment: “If people do not want to go Machalilla National Park, then the park will go to people!” <br><br></div><div>Park authorities could open a page on social networks where they can make live visits through the site. I know “It is better to be there and watch by yourself” but we need to comprehend life for us has changed and we need to cooperate to recover again.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This place belongs to El Oro Province, Arenillas City, wich is located in the south-western part of the Ecuadorian territory. You can contact with the Resort by calling the following number (07) 370-0260 or to the following email elororeservas@hillaryresort.com <br>Hillary Nature Resort and Spa is a place where you can find various activities to do, for example, there is a zoo where you and your family can come and visit, there are many swimmimg pools for adults and children and the favorite activity of tourists is to do adventure sports.<br>During the quarentine this place was closed, therefore there were economic losses since this place must be in a constant maintenance. But now that the country's economy is being reactivated my suggestion to the people in charge of this beautiful place would be to use social media to attract tourists. They could make flashy announcements and include promotions, and most importantly, they must ensure all sanitation measures so that visitors feel safe there.<br>Another effective way to publicize the reopening of the place, could be by putting flashy posters in the main cities of the province so that people who may not have access to social networks can see them. <br>Let's help revive the economy of our country but never forgetting that our health is first.</div>]]></description>

         <title>CERRO LOBO - SANTA ELENA</title>

         <description><![CDATA[This beautiful hotel is called ‘’Cerro Lobo’’, it is located on the top of a mountain near Montañita which provides the guests an amazing view in a perfect place to enjoy a good weekend. This hotel has as an advantage the quiet nature that it is surrounded with to reserve one of the 8 bungalows you can do it through these phone numbers: +593 99 327 5426 / +593 96 841 7377
‘’Cerro lobo’’ is the perfect place to spend the weekend at in the coast part of Ecuador, It has the ideal rustic beach environment to spend with friends, family or as a couple. It is perfectly located near the best beaches in the country, Montañita and Los Frailes so if guests do not want to spend the day either by the pool or receiving relaxing massages they can enjoy a candlelight dinner and enjoying the good food.
Tourists need to know the biosafety protocols offered by the hotel in order to feel safe in the rooms and confident about visiting ‘’Cerro Lobo’’ again. One of the main strategies to reactivate the business is providing this confidence people need by reinforcing protocols in spaces such as rooms, restaurants, meeting rooms and social areas. After this is done, this accommodation must also have promotions to encourage tourism outside Santa Elena’s province since its main consumers come from large cities such as Quito and Guayaquil. Due to Covid – 19 most people will not want to spend money on a weekend by the beach overall because of how hard this pandemic has hit on the economic area of the country, but because there are obviously bigger problems right now going on in the world even though they know a gateway to forget about them is something they need, so offering discounts may encourage that feelin,. Another thing that in my opinion ‘’Cerro Lobo’’ should implement are more outdoor activities, taking advantage of its wonderful view and location. Ecuadorians have been in quarantine for 2 months, they are eager to get out of their homes and reconnect with nature, this is something that ‘’Cerro Lobo’’ can offer them. Activities such as hiking in the mountains around the hotel, visits to the beach, Yoga for the day, activities that help visitors forget about the emotional stress that has come with this new pandemic which  is something that potential tourists will be looking for desperately , escaping from the reality of everyday life to immerse themselves in the nature that surrounds "Cerro Lobo".
Something that the Hotel should use in their favor is the exclusivity of its establishment as it only has five lofts, one rooftop and one family accommodation. The last thing Ecuadorians want to do is go to a place that is crowded with people. So including that in the advertising sign would be the best idea to improve their tourist reception.

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>1. This nature reserve is located in the Highlands and crosses the provinces of Chimborazo, Tungurahua, and Bolivar. It is a protected area, intended for the preservation of endemic flora and fauna of the region, so it does not pursue any lucrative purpose, but rather emphasizes the care of the species through a healthy appreciation on the part of its visitors. <br><br></div><div>2. The nature reserve consisted of <em>58560 ha</em>, draws visitors’ attention through its superb attractions: <strong><em>the Chimborazo volcano, "El Arenal" (a dry moor), and the camelids (vicunas, alpacas, guanacos, etc.).<br></em></strong><em>Vi</em>isitors are allowed to practice a set of activities such as:<strong><em> taking photos, hiking, mountain climbing, biking, camping, or visiting the hot springs in the area.</em></strong><br><br></div><div>3. The current health emergency  has also quarantined tourism, so it would be necessary to reactivate and improve this aspect once this period ends. For this reason, as an entrepreneur, I would consider regulating the number of people entering the reserve by creating a post-pandemic security protocol. Likewise, I would promote the usage of social networks by uploading current photos and videos of the reserve, or even offering virtual tours for people who cannot visit the place.</div><div>On the other hand, I consider  it would be very opportune to include more leisure sites around the place, such as bars or small restaurants in order to  provide more comfort to the visitors. <br><br><em>For more information:</em><br><strong>Administrative Office:</strong> Telephone: (03) 302-7358 <br><br></div><div><strong>Andean Adventures: </strong>(03)2965820 / 0979084401</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>
