Dear tourism entrepreneurs:

Greetings from the ICT.

The Department of Sustainable Tourism and the Regional Office of Puntarenas are pleased to invite you to participate in training for adherence to the Code of Conduct Against the Exploitation of Children and Adolescents Associated with Travel and Tourism.

This training is the first requirement in the process for signing the Code of Conduct, and is required to obtain the Certificate for Sustainable Tourism (CST) and is therefore aimed at companies that still do not have membership, which may send two representatives of the same, which can then replicate the training to the rest of their colleagues. Enclosed please find the invitation with details.

For more information call Maricel Guevara at 2661-0337.

Dear Community Members of Montezuma!

We at CATUMO would like to wish you all a happy and healthy holiday season!

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all of your support and participation during the last year which aided us greatly in all our endeavors! 2011 was definitively a learning experience that yielded spectacular results! here’s to a year of success, Success of the recycling program, of finally having the hill paved and above all, the development of a clearer method/channel of communication among the citizens of our little village.

Also, we want to update you on the latest good news:

1 – Now we are recycling cans! this includes all types of food cans -collected together with the tetra-pack and general aluminum containers
2 – We started again to do scheduled pick-ups of recyclables between Montezuma – Cabuya and Pura Vida, between 6 – 10 am:

Montezuma – Cabuya: Wednesdays
Montezuma – Pura Vida: Thursdays

It is very important to leave the recyclables in a visible place on the road so our collector (Macho) can see them. They have to be in a properly sealed plastic bag and please make sure that the bag only contains recyclables and not organic waste or general trash. We also request that you separate the recyclables. If you have any doubts on what materials or containers we accept please do not hesitate to send us an email and we will be glad to forward you the information about “the what”, “the when” and “the where”.

3 – The new Recycling center is already up and running! It is located in Delicias where volunteers help us with the separation, flattening and packing of the recycling. And at this point we would like to thank Ori from Amor de Mar for helping us with the daily transportation of the volunteers from Montezuma to Delicias!

It is important, however, to finish the construction of the Recycling Center: It is rather urgent for a water tank to be installed on site to aid in the recycling process. Thus, we are currently seeking the following materials: cement, pipes, building supplies, and lastly a donation of money to build it. The water meter alone costs ¢180.000, so any contribution now is very needed and welcome.

Thank you for your kind attention. If you are interested in more info about the Recycling program and the new center or would like to make a donation please contact: Antonio ( antonio@tajalin.com ), Ori (Tel. 2642-0262) or Sandy (marketing@paraisopublicidad.com ).

Sincerely,
CATUMO

Montezuma Chamber of Tourism enabling the progress of the tourism sector

A meeting was held last Wednesday, March 30th, to discuss the works to be carried out on Cóbano – Montezuma Route 624. Present at the meeting were Montezuma Chamber of Tourism president Antonio Vallese, Cóbano mayor Omar Fernandez, CONAVI subdirector Miguel Arroyo, Quebrador Manchester of Tambor sales manager Luis Prendas and a neighbor from Cóbano. After four hours a direct contracting was worked out for the preparation of the base, sub-base and the application of a rolling surface for this route for a cost of approximately ¢125,000,000.00 and requiring the use of 7,000 m3 of material.

The next step is a bidding process including a maximum number of three contractors followed by the initiation of the works on the road in approximately two months.

In view of this, the president of CaTuMo requested a meeting with the executive director of the CONAVI, engineer Carols Eduardo Acosta Monge, to request a more expedient initiation of the works given that the condition of the hill is such that it is risky to delay for so long.

A total success!
