That document was prepared by the Universidad de Quintana Roo, Mexico, but there were insufficient funds to have it printed. In this sense, it was decided that the Secretariat would initiate work likely to yield the required funds. In order to provide continuity to the Committee's work, and to centralise the points of contact with each member, the Secretariat was mandated to send out a notice to the countries requesting that a liaison officer be designated in order to ensure the continuity of work begun by this Committee, and that his duties be clearly defined. In addition, the Secretariat was given the task of distributing the Manual for the Presentation of Projets for the Special Fund, the Ministeries and the Tourism Corporations of the ACS member countries. The priority actions were defined within the Immediate Plan of Action for each of the strategies.
