Latacunga tourism and cultural development

Overview

The Municipality of Latacunga has initiated efforts to strengthen local tourism and cultural identity through organized programming and infrastructure support.

Initially, the Permanent Sponsoring Committee for the Latacunga Festivities launched a call for proposals to develop the 2026 Cultural Agenda, inviting various sectors to submit activities commemorating the city’s 206th anniversary of political emancipation.

Following these planning efforts, the municipality expanded its focus to include immediate tourism promotion and airport revitalization. Current initiatives include celebrating World Tourism Day with events such as the Mama Negra festivities and market celebrations, alongside training for the hospitality sector. Additionally, Mayor Fabricio Tinajero is working to revitalize commercial operations at Cotopaxi airport by collaborating with travel companies to reintroduce both domestic and international flight routes.
