Tourist corridor of  Sustainable  Development : Andean Golden Corridor

This is a corridor that was posted on the web thanks to the support of Ricardo Palma University, the Ancash Association and Antamina Mining Company.

These are some of the words stated by Mr. Sixtilio Dalmau, former dean of our college, during the presentation of the Web site:

‘’We are proud of having contributed to the development of the Andean Gold web site, which condenses the biggest treasures of vast territory destined to become one of the popular tourist destinations in our country’’

The towns of the Andean Golden corridor, possessors of a wide variety of natural and recreational resources can become important tourist attractions, if properly administered. This will provide essential economical benefits to the people of these towns as well as business owners and land owners of the area as long as local people are allowed to participate in areas of important tourist potential.

This is a dream and a serious commitment assumed by the University Ricardo Palma School of Tourism and Hospitality, the Ancash Association, the Antamina Mining Company and the Majors Association of the Andean Golden Corridor -CODA- that is going to be achieved in a series of successive work stages.

Although the web site shows the wide variety of tourist attractions the corridor possesses, it also shows the limited and poor infrastructure the zone has. Despite the fact that there are many developmental projects, most of them are only focused on specific areas of the corridor. The development of all the corridor’s towns as a whole, including Chiquian, is vital for the development of the zone.

Last year, a series of projects have been developed, among which we can mention the following: Bolognesi Development Plan and Five Municipal programs of Management and Investment
