So, 2012 is here and for those of us not too concerned about the Mayan prophecy that everything as we know it is going to come to an end, it's business as usual!
Christmas and New Year were great celebrations here in the Casa Amarilla and we even had the infamous band "Abundio y sus Traviesos" fresh from their adventures in Washington DC playing their cumbia and chande music on the roof terrace to see in the New Year.
And now, with the flood waters receding we find ourselves confronting a year of hard work and definite growth. Our reviews on TripAdvisor (read the newest one here) are testament to the hard work put in by the whole team here. And while we suffer the ignoble onslaught from other businesses, we continue to fill the Casa Amarilla and provide a service that helps Mompos and the region.
I have mentioned on various occasions that we strongly believe in the trickle down economic effect of tourism and how we can help Mompos and the most humble Momposinos. And for the most part we feel that change is taking place and this is a positive social aspect to our work.
In other news we are trying to maintain our lead here in terms of social networking and various other free publicity media. We now have a tumblr photo site to accompany our twitter (@CasaAmarilla), facebook (La Casa Amarilla Mompos) and original website (www.lacasaamarillamompos.com).
And while there has been a change of administration in the political hierarchy in Mompos, and this in itself is positive, those of us in the tourism industry hold our collective breath to see if the new Mayor has any interest in us at all. The obvious statement to make is that before long the only meaningful income for Mompos will be tourism, so we remain in the wings, watching and waiting.
