The recent recognition of two emblematic nightclubs in Cali, La Pérgola and Cantina La 15, included in the list of the 100 best in the world, is not only cause for celebration for the city’s nightclub scene, but also a clear sign of the possibilities latent economics in this area.
This and the decision of Mayor Jorge Iván Ospina to extend the rumba hours until 4:00 AM during the Christmas season, should prompt an in-depth reflection on the role of the nighttime industry in the local economy.
Cali, recognized for its vibrant rumba culture, has unprecedented potential in nighttime entertainment. This vocation represents an opportunity for economic growth and job creation that cannot be overlooked.
It is imperative to understand that there is no reason to feel ashamed or underestimate the economic value of rumba. Just look at places like Las Vegas, whose economic flourishing relies heavily on the nighttime entertainment industry.
This reality invites us to adopt a broader and more strategic vision in this regard.
However, the sustainable success of this initiative depends on two fundamental pillars: organization and security. Careful planning and proper zoning are essential to avoid conflicts that arise when nighttime establishments disrupt residential areas.
Problems such as excessive noise, traffic congestion and parking difficulties must be addressed seriously and responsibly.
Taking advantage of this opportunity requires not only business vision, but also the commitment of all actors to the coexistence and well-being of all citizens.
It is well worth it for the public sector to bet on this opportunity for economic development for the city.
