Likewise, it becomes necessary to monitor periodically the waters of the 147 registered thermal sources in the National Touristic Resources Inventory of the MINCETUR, to analyze their benefits and discard eventual negative effects. For that end there has been 6 prioritized regions identified, that count with a number of important thermal sites and which form part of the 2019 diagnostic, being them Cusco, Puno, Tacna, Moquegua, Arequipa and Lima.
In the third meeting of the work group on the month of November, the results for the 2019 diagnostics, in the prioritized regions were presented as well as the Nacional thermal tourism Strategy 2019-2020 elaborated by MINCETUR; also the intersectoral strategic actions for the development of said market were presented. Likewise, it was agreed to fortify the proposal for the elaboration of a new National Sanitary Directive, specifically for the thermal fountains.
