How does the Ecuador Ministry of Tourism work with airports and airlines to attract new routes?

Work is being carried out that allow us to promote the destination of Ecuador, allowing us to directly influence the B2B, B2C and B2T segment of the airline. The development of promotional actions will allow the consumer, businessman and foreign travel agencies to be informed about Ecuador's tourism offer and direct tourism flows, helping to reduce seasonality and improve occupancy in low seasons.

For the development of joint actions of mutual benefit, the 50/50 contribution is required in which a “win-win” result will be achieved that favors both the airline and the Ministry of Tourism in order to promote inbound tourism.
