During the event, Ms. Carbajal Schumacher, together with a cast of guests specialized in the subject, presented the objectives and program of the World Cocoa and Cocoa Derivatives Tourism Destinations Network. The initiative seeks not only to promote cocoa tourism, but also to foster cultural exchange and the sustainable development of cocoa-producing communities.

Attendees had the opportunity to actively participate through questions and comments, which led to a rich exchange of ideas and experiences. This constructive dialogue underscores the importance of cocoa as a cultural and economic link between different regions of the world.

"We are delighted with the response and enthusiasm shown by the participants. This network is not only a platform to promote tourism destinations, but also a global community that values the sustainability, culture and economy of cocoa," said Ms. Carbajal Schumacher.

With this successful launch, the World Cocoa and Cocoa Derivatives Tourism Destinations Network positions itself as an international benchmark in the promotion of cocoa culture, promising a bright future for tourism destinations, cocoa producers and cocoa aficionados around the world.

The World Cocoa and Cocoa Derivatives Tourism Destinations Network, led by the Tourism and Society Think Tank, emerges as a vanguard in sustainable and educational cocoa-focused tourism. This initiative, gestated over 2023, proposes a holistic vision that ranges from promoting responsible agricultural practices to immersion in the rich cocoa culture. With a focus on education, support for producing communities and the creation of unforgettable gastronomic experiences, the network seeks to transform cocoa tourism, extending its benefits beyond tasting.

This project highlights the historical and economic importance of cacao, and emphasizes its social and environmental impact, educating visitors about the production process, from cultivation to chocolate making. It integrates the traditions and heritage associated with cocoa into a tourism offer that promotes local development and the well-being of the communities, offering tourists a unique opportunity to understand and participate in the cocoa life cycle.

By supporting local communities, the network fosters tourism that contributes to the economic development of the producing areas, generating new income opportunities and promoting sustainability. In addition, the gastronomic experiences designed allow visitors to explore the diversity of cocoa and chocolate, participating in workshops and tastings that reveal the complexity of these products.
