No more 'Ghetto Tours' in the Bronx



New York's 'Real Bronx Tours' are dunzo after an outrage from Bronx residents and media.

The 'Real Bronx Tour' advertised a 'ride through a real New York City Ghetto' for $45.

Olga Luz Triado, executive director of the Bronx Tourism Council, was shocked when she learned that the tour featured soup kitchens and public houses.

"We are more than happy to welcome tours to our community that celebrate the rich culture and history of our neighborhoods, but using the Bronx to sell a so-called 'ghetto' experience to tourists is completely unacceptable." said Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr.

Bronx residents have grown tired of outsiders trying to 'ghettoize' them and are creating their own campaign called 'Bronx Rising.'
