The rich heritage of Cartagena, the scope of 5,000 cruisers (04/11/2010)

Today reached two cruises aboard the luxurious Queen Elisabeth and the Celebrity Equinox, have left a print worthy of framing, and that 5,000 tourists on a morning sets the bar very high for a city like Cartagena which aims to break with the seasonality of tourism, as noted by the Mayor, Pilar Barreiro, and it is succeeding, given that we have gone from 70,000 tourists last year to 101,000 in 2010.

Thus, consolidating the city as a tourist destination, with the added attraction of a dock that allows visitors to reach and access routes Puerto archaeological, cultural and gastronomic, as well as make purchases without having to use any means of transport .

In this way tourists could see how crowded throughout the morning the main street, the terraces and emblematic buildings of Puerto Hull did not want to miss, as the Roman Theatre and the Palace Hall.

According to the chairman of the Port Authority, Adrian à ngel Viudes, the average expenditure per tourist is around 40 euros, but the idea is to get a payout of between 50 and 60 euros per visitor.

As expectations of tourist arrivals to the port next year, the first thing is to keep the number, and then try to increase it by 15 or 20 percent.

To contribute to this positive image of the city and its riches and also teach, highlighting both Viudes Barreiro as the work of Cartagena, Puerto de Culturas, public company with its range of travel packages, allows the attractions of the ancient city reach to all who visit.
