The design of public policies requires recognizing and involving actors who can cooperate in the execution of public action to solve different social problems. Therefore, the objective of this article is to know the appraisals of the main agents that can contribute to the construction of a public policy of cultural tourism in the city of Pasto, for this purpose, was selected, through the technique of sampling for convenience, to people representative of the different interest groups that by their knowledge, contributions, influence and experience have contributed to the development of this sector. Consequently, semi-structured interviews were applied and using the network approach, a method widely used in the social sciences, the degree of articulation and hierarchy between them was identified. Finally, the main results include the disbandment between the authorities responsible for the development of culture and tourism, the lack of a Tourism Information and Measurement System, the loss of recognition of the inhabitants of Pasto for their cultural heritage and the absence of a public policy to bring together these actors and enhance the initiatives they carry out around tourism and culture.
