Local commercial initiatives launch in Cartagena and Manizales

Local commercial initiatives are underway in Cartagena, Spain, and Manizales, Colombia, to boost regional trade.

In Cartagena, the XVI Feria Outlet has opened at Plaza Juan XXIII. The event features 34 businesses across 40 stalls offering discounts of at least 20% on fashion, footwear, jewelry, and sporting goods. Organized by the Cartagena City Council with support from the Region of Murcia, the fair's schedule was adjusted due to recent rainfall. It is scheduled to run until Monday, October 5.

In Manizales, the city launched the first ‘Viernes de Plaza’ as part of the ‘La Galería vuelve a latir’ strategy. This initiative aims to revitalize the Manizales Market Plaza by offering promotions on meat, fruits, and vegetables. The event, supported by the Mayor's Office and InfiManizales, includes cultural activities and security presence from the National Police to encourage local shopping.
