Centro de Investigaciones de Energía y Población (CIEP), in partnership with Asociación de Productores Artesanales del Municipio de Batallas (APAM-B) will establish, renovate and promote various tourist activities in 10 Aymara communities in the provincial town and its outlying communities. It will develop new designs and artisan products, and promote and organize new tourist venues that will be managed by Aymara community members and generate socio-economic benefits for them. CIEP and APAM-B will expand and consolidate a `tourist circuit` in the area, offering tour guides, food, artisan products and other goods and services for national and foreign tourists. The project will benefit 400 Aymara famers, artisan producers and entrepreneurs, especially women and youth. It will indirectly reach another 1,300.
