Barranquilla - 2013 Cultural Capital

1. Why was Barranquilla chosen? 

Barranquilla was chosen because when the president of the International Bureau of the Cultural Capitals, Xavier Tudela, visited the city was impressed with all  and he saw positives thing in the people who live here and saw the development our city is having. He also saw the culture this city has, the way of the people live here, the hapiness and the positivism that have all the goverments who want the good development of this.

2. Will Barranquilla receive any of the economic benefits Liverpool hoped to from being named a cultural capital?

Yes, I think the city will receive economic benefits and a lot of opportunities to be more recognized around the world and also be a tourist city.
