NATIONAL TOURIST SIGNING SYSTEM
SISTEMA NACIONAL DE SENALAMIENTO TURISTICO
The National Tourism Assistant Secretary's Office analyzed local and international signs, and found that there was a lack of uniformity in the graphic representation of tourist-oriented symbols. Accordingly, a system was devised of signs that would be easily recognizable to the user. Theses consisted of curves and straight line interacting to form simple and harmonic figures. Subjects are categorized as "Tourist Attractions," "Convenience Stations," and "Activities." The National Tourist Signing System uses two types of signs (vehicular and pedestrian) to inform the tourists of the existence of a particular point of interest and the distance and direction to it. Public transportation information is included in the system, which the Tourism authorities hope will be adopted internationally. (Author)
