Academic Trek

Unicolombo and Transcaribe celebrate the civic culture!

By Tourism Today

The 2017 Unicolombo Cultural Week included in its program a space for the civil culture. A group of students of the Bachelor of Business in Tourism and Hospitality Management talked to Transcaribe users about the attractions that made Cartagena a tourist city.

This speech was imparted because of the importance of descovering our native city and the importance of becoming better citizens. The students gave the information in English, French and Spanish, the three languages of the Bachelor of Business in Tourism and Hospitality Management syllabus.

The opening of this encounter was celebrated with a presentation of a folklor group in Cuatro Vientos station. Then, the students approached local and foreing users in order to increase awareness among cartageneros.

This activity was developed in two moments: one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. The stations where Unicolombo's students talked to the users were: Cuatro Vientos, Matuna and La Bodeguita.

Some of the pieces of advice given to the Transcaribe users were:

Do not throw trash on the floor.

Stand in line.

Reserve the priority seats for pregnant women and elderly people.

Stay calm at the moment of boarding the long articulated bus.

Be polite with the rest of the mass transport system users.
