dinero_admin The minister of Culture, Raúl Castillo, announced that they are working on the remodeling of various venues in which US$15 million will be invested, such as the Teatro Nacional de San Miguel, el Museo de Antropología (MUNA) and the Centro Nacional de Arte (CENAR). This initiative seeks not only to strengthen the country’s cultural identity but also to boost the economy through tourism.
He also highlighted that for this holiday season, the salvadoran government’s strategy includes a robust program of cultural and recreational activities throughout the country. Since last friday, thousands of people have enjoyed artistic performances at the Teatro Nacional de San Salvador, including dance and theater performances by the Ballet Nacional and the Compañía Nacional de Danza.
“The goal is to provide the population and tourists with a safe, enriching, and diverse cultural experience”, the minister explained. Activities will continue throughout the week, including the Kaleidoscope Festival, performances by the Folkloric Ballet, and concerts by the El Salvador Symphony Orchestra, all in a healthy, recreational atmosphere.
This cultural commitment has a strong economic component. By generating tourism, it boosts local commerce, activates small and medium-sized businesses, and creates temporary jobs in various sectors. This investment not only translates into infrastructure, but also into well-being and opportunities for thousands of salvadorans.
In addition, the minister announced the launch of the National School of Music and a space for the National Archives, which now boasts modern preservation and digitization. With these actions, the Ministry of Culture seeks to position the country as a leading cultural tourism destination in Central America.
The complete program and event schedule is available on the website quechivoaqui.sv, where visitors can check dates, times, and locations. El Salvador is making steady progress toward accessible, tourist-friendly, and safe culture for all.
