Can a city project itself as an international destination if, just meters from the main circuit, there are areas where visitors feel unsafe? Organizing mobility, protecting heritage, and guaranteeing security must go hand in hand. Religious tourism can be a strength, but without sustained planning, it risks becoming fragmented. Holy Week in San Felipe confirms the consolidation of the capital's Old Town as an attraction with international potential. But this success also exposes a challenge that cannot be ignored: the real capacity to manage the environment where it takes place and safeguard its heritage value. It is not just about processions and logistics. Growth requires more than just promotion: it requires coordination, regulation, and the effective presence of the State. Around the Old Town, vulnerable areas persist where safety is not always guaranteed. The sustained increase in visitors, good hotel occupancy, and a significant economic impact reflect the value of a tradition that combines faith, culture, and tourism. The restored churches are now an essential part of this experience. In this context, it is necessary to assume a comprehensive management vision. Has the preservation of our historical monuments been guaranteed, so that no structure or arch collapses?
