- The management and monitoring of visitors and visitor sites nearby Puerto Villamil
- Translation and design of English language visitor information
- Graphic design for promotional and educational material
- Running satisfaction questionnaires to visitors from different nationalities
- Registering tourism related information, as well as generating statistical databases from your surveys
- Design of maps, signs, canvas, etc. for those volunteers with Acrobat Illustrator design experience
