T<br />
he nation maintains its econo -<br />
mic diplomacy strategy through<br />
the pursuit of investment opportunities<br />
and promotion on international<br />
markets.<br />
For President Nayib Bukele, it is<br />
essential that each person lives to the<br />
best of their abilities; therefore, factors<br />
“My country has a<br />
well-defined global<br />
positioning plan built<br />
on three pillars:<br />
investment attraction,<br />
tourism, and trade<br />
growth.”<br />
Ambassador Julia Emma<br />
Villatoro Tario<br />
such as the economy,<br />
health, and education take precedence<br />
while individuals remain at the pinnacle<br />
of all these endeavors.<br />
This comprehensive perspective has<br />
led to the transformation of society<br />
through the implementation of public<br />
policies and initiatives while increasing<br />
national security and international<br />
confidence.<br />
Considering this new reality, economic<br />
development is imperative for<br />
our nation. Therefore, it is important to<br />
answer the following question: What are<br />
the advantages of visiting El Salvador?<br />
First, it has a favorable geographical<br />
location. Furthermore, it is a surf destination<br />
and a nation that has adopted<br />
Bitcoin as a legal currency. We also<br />
have monetary stability, a stable climate,<br />
as well as a legal framework for<br />
tourist businesses, connectivity, public<br />
infrastructure and, of course, we prioritize<br />
tourism as a public policy.<br />
My country has a well-defined<br />
global positioning plan built on three<br />
pillars: investment attraction,<br />
tourism, and trade<br />
growth.<br />
Through these three<br />
areas, we have established<br />
the country in worldwide<br />
markets, resulting in welfare<br />
and opportunity for<br />
Salvadorans, allowing them<br />
to accomplish their life<br />
goals in our country.<br />
El Salvador is proud of its<br />
flagship project “Surf City”,<br />
which has established the country as<br />
a significant place for international<br />
surfing while also creating investment<br />
opportunities for conference centers,<br />
hotels, and amusement parks.<br />
President Nayib Bukele’s administration<br />
has adopted an important<br />
tourist strategy, giving life to “Surf<br />
City” and elevating our beaches worldwide<br />
by hosting not one but two major<br />
events on our shore.<br />
Thus, El Salvador is currently recognized<br />
as a global hub for board sports,<br />
and therefore, we’ve had the opportunity<br />
to host specialized and worldclass<br />
competitions in this sport.<br />
All these accolades contribute to<br />
economic development through tourism.<br />
As a result, we have had more than<br />
1.892.000 tourists in 2022, a 7% rise in<br />
this area.<br />
Moreover, El Salvador also promotes<br />
mountain tourism and coffee production,<br />
especially exports of our golden<br />
bean. We regularly hold sample and<br />
tasting events of our national product<br />
to present the exquisite flavors and<br />
fragrances of the numerous varieties of<br />
coffee cultivated in Salvadoran lands,<br />
with the hope of consolidating business<br />
opportunities with these companies<br />
and building partnerships for the<br />
promotion of this agricultural produce.<br />
El Salvador aims for inclusive and<br />
sustainable economic growth by building<br />
resilient infrastructure, promoting<br />
tourism and innovation, reducing inequalities,<br />
creating productive employment,<br />
and developing sustainable<br />
cities and communities, all while protecting<br />
the environment and natural<br />
resources.<br />
As the Embassy of El Salvador in<br />
Austria, we are working to strengthen<br />
bilateral, economic, and trade relations,<br />
as well as to develop bridges for<br />
the benefit of our people.<br />
We acknowledge that there is still<br />
work to be done, but we are in the right<br />
direction to develop new initiatives<br />
that will help us to grow as a nation.<br />
We want to invite readers who are interested<br />
in learning more about our country to come<br />
and visit us. El Salvador is ready for you!<br />
