Local economic and community initiatives in Dosquebradas

Overview

In Dosquebradas, local economic activity has been supported through various community-focused events and government programs. The ‘DoReMi’ business fair, described as a ‘Simulacro Decembrino’, successfully integrated music and entrepreneurship, resulting in a reported 40% increase in sales for local businesses and food trucks.

Following this, an artisanal fair organized by the local government and the Chamber of Commerce provided a platform for 25 artisans to showcase handmade goods, generating over $2.1 million in sales. Alongside these commercial efforts, the Dosquebradas Mayor’s Office has introduced a $50 million incentive program for environmental conservation. This initiative, known as the Payments for Environmental Services (PSA) program, offers economic recognition to rural landowners who protect local forests, water sources, and bamboo groves.
