Sofía Medeles (Ajijic).- Despite the publication of the guidelines of the Program for Support and Promotion of Magical Towns of the State of Jalisco, the Chapala government has failed to make progress in any of the projects required to access the available funds.
Social communication Director Elizabeth Oropeza Silva informed the media that they have not yet entered the grant program nor have any proposal ready to gol; however, next week they will have a meeting with the Secretary of Tourism of Jalisco, Claudia Vanessa Pérez Lamas.
The work will taken over by the municipal commission set up by Ajijic councilwoman Denisse Michelle Ibarra González, municipal trustee Gamaliel de Jesús Soto Pérez, and councilman Francisco Iván Gutiérrez Pérez.
The Program for Support and Promotion of Magical Towns of the State of Jalisco was published on May 3, 2022, in the Official Gazette of the State of Jalisco and stipulates the areas of strengthening announced by the governor. These are: understanding and improvement of traffic patterns and mobility, creation of the position of tourist agent and establishing the office, and improvement of the urban image and waste management.
The required projects will have to focus on these elements to access Ajijic’s share of the 17 million pesos which are divided among the nine Magical Towns. The overall budget allocates 3.5 million to mobility research and projects, urban image and waste management research and improvement; 3 million to set up and staff the tourist agent office; 9 million 790 thousand pesos for the improvement of the urban image; and 210 thousand 100 pesos for the administrative costs of remaining in the program.
The review and subsequent approval of the projects will be managed by the Evaluation Committee of the Ministry of Tourism of the State of Jalisco, and the support may be given in cash or in kind.
