The Global Foundation for Democracy and Development has invited Puerto Plata tourism businessmen to attend the First Regional Funglode Encounter on Human Development and Sustainable Tourism as a Strategy for Progress. One of the foundation’s stated goals is to provide a forum to discuss the DR’s economic, social and democratic development to assist in the preparation of public policy. Speakers at the event will include Miguel Ceara Hatton, who oversees sustainable development for the United Nations Development Program in the Dominican Republic; Jaime
Moreno, the coordinator of Funglode’s International Center for Environmental
Studies and Sustainable Tourism (Ciemades) for the Dominican Republic; and Hans Dannenberg, the coordinator of the Funglode’s tourism workshop. Frederic Emam Zade, as Fuglode’s general director, will explain the methodology used for the presentation. The event will take place at the Playa Dorada Convention Center at 10am on Saturday, 27 November.
