Gustavo Villegas, director of Pance's Tourism Table, noted participation from Universidad del Valle, Universidad Autónoma, and Cotelco. He emphasized that Pance has Colombia's largest nature park network and could become the country's top cultural and community nature destination. The governor stated that a table must be set up with the city hall and CVC to outline projects, costs, and technical studies, plus inspection visits.
