Will sunken treasure mean more tourists for Colombia?

Paul Heymont ·
Colombia has found a 1708 shipwreck, believed to be the most valuable sunken treasure ever, off the coast of Cartagena. The treasure is worth $2 billion or more, and has been the object of searches and claims almost since the day the ship, the San Jose, was sunk by a British ship that was trying to take its cargo.

The fact that the prices are considered a fraction of those in Europe adds an extra layer of appeal for tourists looking for a high-end experience without the exorbitant costs.
