Global Cruises is proud to announce its collaboration with Fundación Tu Cultura in Cartagena, focusing on preserving the rich cultural legacy of Getsemani, one of the city’s most cherished and historic neighborhoods. Together, the two organizations are spearheading various initiatives aimed at safeguarding the cultural heritage of Getsemani amidst the challenges posed by tourism development.
Central to their shared vision is the promotion of responsible tourism practices among all stakeholders involved in the neighborhood’s growth. Moreover, the partnership seeks to address the pressing issue of gentrification in Getsemani, a phenomenon exacerbated by its popularity as a tourist destination. In response, Global Cruises and Fundación Tu Cultura are committed to empowering the community to reclaim its narrative, preserving and celebrating its heritage and local identity.
At Global Cruises, we firmly believe in the transformative power of tourism to uplift communities. As we embark on this meaningful journey with Fundación Tu Cultura, we invite you to stay tuned for further updates on our collaborative efforts to support and sustain the cultural vibrancy of Getsemani. Together, we can ensure that tourism serves as a force for positive change, enriching the lives of locals and visitors alike.
