The conference series is an initiative that seeks to foster the exchange of knowledge and best practices among experts, community leaders and tourism professionals. On this occasion, it will explore how religious and spiritual destinations can benefit from sustainable strategies that protect their integrity and promote their responsible development.

Josefina Matas will provide an academic and practical perspective on how to balance heritage conservation with the growing demand for tourism experiences at religious sites. These sites are not only points of attraction for pilgrims and tourists, but also living witnesses to traditions and cultures that must be preserved for future generations.

In an increasingly globalized world, religious tourism faces the challenge of maintaining a balance between the influx of visitors and the preservation of its essence. Dr. Matas will address how architectural and cultural management practices can contribute to protecting these spaces, preventing their deterioration and guaranteeing their authenticity.

The conference will also analyze the social, economic and environmental impacts of religious tourism, highlighting the need for active collaboration between local authorities, communities and international organizations.

The live broadcast will be carried out through the official Facebook page of the World Religious and Spiritual Tourism Destinations Network - Bolivia. This accessible format will allow participants from all over the world to join the event and be part of this enriching exchange of ideas.

The event is a unique opportunity for tourism professionals, cultural managers, academics and the general public interested in learning more about strategies to preserve the valuable religious and spiritual heritage of Bolivia and the world.
