Even Laguna Amarga came the Minister of Agriculture, María Emilia Undurraga, to lead the official launch of the electronic ticketing system in Torres del Paine that will directly benefit about 300,000 visitors to the national park.” It’s an agreement between the private sector and Conaf. How important it is to advance these collaborations between the public and private sectors, because this way we will be able to develop different alternatives to be able to bring our parks closer to all Chileans and people coming from outside,” said the Secretary of State, who was with the mayor of the Magellan Region, Jenniffer Rojas; Conaf CEO Rodrigo Munita; Governor Erika Farías and the mayor of Torres del Paine, Roberto Cárdenas.During the year 2020 the “online ticketing system” (www.aspticket.cl) for admission to the Protected Wilderness Areas (ASP) was put into operation. To achieve this, CONAF in Magallanes and the Torres del Paine Tourism Hotels and Services Association (HYST) signed a collaboration agreement aimed at developing a digital platform for ticket sales in Torres del Paine National Park, which makes it more expeditious for visitors to enter the park.” It is a very efficient system that will also allow Conaf to have information about the people who come to visit our parks in order to have a system more and more suitable to the needs of each of them, also safer, (and) not only on the health issue,” Minister Undurraga said. , a successful operation, with 632 people admitted between the last week of November and December 29, 2020, with a total of 632 registered visitors entering ASP, of whom 80.4% did so through online purchase, 14% through tour operators and only 5.2% did so in person in the Unit.In this regard. , Rodrigo Bustamante, Manager of HYST (Association of Hotels and Tourist Services Torres del Paine), said that “it has worked super well since you left. We are with a good number of people who have also come from different cities in the country (…) The truth is that we are happy, with a good delivery of data that conaf will of course handle, but that will serve us all a lot (…) it has been a very good initiative, a very good work together and we are very happy with this release and be example at the national level as well.” This system will work under QR codes or barcodes, therefore, this procedure can be performed from your own vehicles, showing the passport or ID card in the case of the units. In this sense, it works similarly to check-in flights, which is non-transferable and forces visitors to accept all the rules of entry to Torres del Paine National Park, such as watching Conaf’s induction videos and signing online an affidavit associated with Covid-19.Rodrigo Munita, CEO of Conaf, highlighted the friendlyness of the system : “One enters aspticket.cl and there he finds all the information step by step to make the registration, to make reservations, day, time, and in the end also has a survey at the level of satisfaction, therefore the truth is that the visit can be a great visiting experience. That’s what we expect.” During the afternoon, the authorities will visit the Minagri plot in Puerto Natales where they will launch the third stage of the Contest “Investment Projects in Non-Conventional Renewable Energy for the Forestry Sector” (ENRC), which will benefit a total of 200 producers with clean and environmentally friendly energies in the area. In addition, the competition considers a $193,778,301 contribution to be distributed among producers who invest in unconventional renewable energy, and who have the technical approval of their projects. The amount of this benefit may range from 70% to 90% of the total project amount, depending on the production sector to which the applicant belongs, with a profit cap of $5,000,000 for each beneficiary.
