The Councillor for Finance and Interior, José Cabezas, has advocated the creation of this Foundation, involving the City and the social and economic of the city (his employers council will initially be composed of the City of Cartagena, COEC, Camera Trade and Cajamurcia CAM), further supporting the promotion of events in Cartagena, what we know as congress tourism, which is the only facet of this sector that we need to exploit, so it is an agency for the promotion of the city .
