Cultural Tourism- Matthew, Janice, Kiara, Jessica

During our visit to the Brooklyn Bridge Park, we were assigned to the group of cultural tourism. Cultural tourism is a trip motivated by interests in cultural events such as feasts or festivals or activities such as theater, history, arts and sciences, museums, architecture, and religion. During our visit, there were specific areas to the park that related to cultural tourism, the first on being the Brooklyn Bridge. Many people who visit Manhattan or New York City in general, come to see and walk the Brooklyn Bridge. It is a historical landmark in New York because it was the first bridge built and it gives tourists a glimpse into the hustle and bustle of the city. Another area that showed our culture were the concrete stairs, this is where some people come to see theater while enjoying the beautiful view of Manhattan. Along with the view, tourists can see the harbor traffic of the ferries which can be used by people visiting or locals commuting to work. This gives them a chance to see what it is like to live in the city and what a commuters travel is like in our New York culture. The music barge right by the entrance of the park, which is open on weekends, shows the cultural music of Brooklyn and New York as a whole. Tourists could also visit, Photoville, which is a week long photo venue which people can visit to see pictures from locals living in New York or from people all around the world. It shows candid photos in New York which really show what our culture is like.
