1. Why was Barranquilla chosen?
2. Will Barranquilla receive any of the economic benefits Liverpool hoped to from being named a cultural capital?
1. Barranquilla was chosen by the International Bureau of Cultural Capitals as American Capital of Culture 2013, because of the perseverance, dedication and effort of the local government in the management for obtaining that merit. Positivism and international projection of the city, as well as the connection of people to their culture were other important aspects to be chosen for this huge recognition.
2. Hopefully Barranquilla will receive lots of economic benefits from being named a cultural capital. At first the city will have an outstanding international promotion during 2013 through the TV channels Antena 3 Internacional and Discovery Networks Latin America, which clearly allows an opportunity for tourism, both local and a foreign investment and, both economic and cultural growth for the city.

I have to say I agree with you on two points you mention
ResponderEliminar1. This recognition is merit for the perseverance of Barranquilla in the preservation of their culture in addition to the strong commitment of its citizens to enact and share with others their traditions.
2. Probably we can not perceive how great are the benefits, but if many promotions as you say so through the media its so much important becouse the last move masses around the world and in turn derive opportunities that we expect Barranquilla will face.
