阿卡普爾科，格雷羅州，墨西哥，2024年2月27日 – 颶風奧提斯對阿卡普爾科的博物館、文化中心、歷史建築以及整體文化生活產生了重大影響。因此，聯合國教科文組織與聯邦及州政府，以及私營部門合作，制定了一項策略，以重新激活阿卡普爾科豐富的文化、遺產和歷史生活，將文化定位為城市社會和經濟復甦的戰略核心。
「阿卡普爾科的復甦應被視為重拾這個港口的文化、遺產和歷史的機會，這不僅有助於重新激活城市豐富的文化生活，還將有助於振興其經濟、社會和旅遊生活。」聯合國教科文組織駐墨西哥代表安德烈斯‧莫拉萊斯表示。
目前正在努力恢復受颶風影響的裝備與文化空間，在聯合國教科文組織的支持下，與聯邦文化部、格雷羅州文化部及國家人類學與歷史研究院（INAH）地方中心協調，專業空調公司大金（Daikin）提供了現代化通風設備給聖地牙哥堡、七個地區博物館及科尤卡市的公共圖書館，這得益於戴金公司的捐贈。
「大金是一家慶祝百年華誕的日本公司，這項捐贈證明了這一重要的遺產和承諾。此捐贈將極大地服務於格雷羅州的文化。值得一提的是，這些空調裝置非常環保，可將能源消耗降低超過30％，減少其對氣候變化的影響。我希望這標誌著更廣泛合作的開始。」 大金公司企業傳播經理雨果‧戈尼表示。
墨西哥人類學和歷史研究院（INAH）格雷羅中心代表阿圖羅‧馬丁尼斯強調了馬尼拉三角帆船航線以及從那時起阿卡普爾科港口與東方文化之間建立的交流關係，包括日本。
格雷羅州文化部長艾達‧梅琳娜‧馬丁尼斯感謝了在聯合國教科文組織的支持下與大金公司建立的關係，這是一種實際的無私關係。
最後，聖地牙哥堡的文化推廣者羅格里奧‧瓦爾多維諾斯強調了使用這些設備的重要性。他提到，如今空調不僅是一種奢侈品，更是一種必需品，不僅為遊客的舒適度，也是為了保護博物館展出的文物和文化遺產。他代表該地點的工作人員感謝戴金公司的捐贈。
阿卡普爾科是一個擁有豐富文化歷史的城市，包括考古遺址與岩石藝術、歷史建築以及現代遺產建築的多個例子。此外，為了感謝來往船隻曾經穿越馬尼拉—阿卡普爾科航線逾250年，傳輸了東西方之間的社會文化和經濟表現，聯合國教科文組織宣布10月8日為三角帆船日，紀念馬尼拉 – 阿卡普爾科航線的建立。
聯合國教科文組織也同時還在阿卡普爾科恢復正常學校活動，並對未來緊急情況應對方面提供支持。
Cultural life reactivation, a strategic pillar for the economic and social recovery of Acapulco
UNESCO, in partnership with the federal and state governments, and the private sector, is working to recover the cultural and heritage value of Acapulco.
Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico, February 27, 2024 – Hurricane Otis had a significant impact on museums, cultural centres, historical buildings, and overall cultural life in Acapulco. Therefore, UNESCO, in partnership with the federal and state governments, and the private sector, is working on a strategy to reactivate the rich cultural, heritage, and historical life of Acapulco, positioning culture as a strategic axis for the social and economic recovery of the city.
“The recovery of Acapulco should be seen as an opportunity to regain the culture, heritage, and history of this port, which will not only help reactivate the rich cultural life of the city but also contribute to revitalizing its economic, social, and tourist life," said Andrés Morales, UNESCO Representative for Mexico.
Efforts are underway to recover and equip properties and cultural spaces affected by the hurricane. Thanks to the donation from Daikin, a company specializing in air conditioning, with the support of UNESCO and in coordination with the Federal Ministry of Culture, the Guerrero Ministry of Culture and the local centre of the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), modern ventilation equipment was provided to the Fort of San Diego, the museum of Siete Regiones (seven regions), and the public libraries of the municipality of Coyuca.
“Daikin is a Japanese company celebrating its 100th anniversary and this donation is evidence of this important legacy and commitment. The donation will greatly serve Guerrero’s culture. It is worth noting that these air conditioning units are very environmentally friendly, reducing energy consumption by more than 30% and their impact on climate change. I hope this marks the beginning of a broader collaboration," said Hugo Goñi, Corporate Communications Manager at Daikin.
Arturo Martínez, Delegate of the INAH Guerrero Centre, highlighted the Manila Galleon Route and the exchange relationship forged since then between the port of Acapulco and eastern cultures, including the Japanese.
Aida Melina Martínez, Secretary of Culture of Guerrero, thanked the relationship established with the support of UNESCO with the company Daikin, an altruistic relationship that is now materialized.
Finally, Rogelio Valdovinos, Heritage Disseminator of the Fort of San Diego, emphasized the importance of using this equipment. He mentioned that nowadays air conditioning is more than a luxury, it is a necessity, both for the comfort of visitors and for the preservation of the pieces and cultural heritage exhibited in the museum. On behalf of the staff of the site, he thanked Daikin for the donation.
Acapulco is a city with a rich cultural past and present, boasting multiple examples of cultural assets, including archaeological sites and rock art, historical buildings, and examples of modern heritage architecture. Additionally, the port holds great value in historical memory, thanks to the galleons that sailed the Manila-Acapulco Route for more than 250 years, transmitting socio-cultural and economic manifestations and expressions between East and West. UNESCO declared October 8th as Galeon Day, commemorating the establishment of the Manila-Acapulco Route.
UNESCO is also supporting Acapulco in the process of returning to normal school activities and in preparation for future emergencies.
