Tourism to Colombia surges three years after Covid outbreak

The data highlights a recovery in business demand and offers valuable insights into the performance of the hospitality sector.

Foreign tourist numbers are on the rise, three years after the confirmation of the first case of coronavirus on 8 March 2020, which had severely impacted the travel sector due to quarantines.

Last month, Columbia news publication, The City Paper Bogotá, reported that in January, Colombia welcomed 454,727 visitors, indicating a 63% increase over the same period in the previous year and an 18% increase from January 2019.

It also claimed that according to the Office of Economic Studies of the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism (MINCIT), the visitors included 319,299 non-resident foreigners, 63,626 Colombians residing abroad, and 71,802 cruise ship passengers.

Meanwhile, the United States accounted for the highest number of visitors to Colombia, contributing to 23.4% of the market share, followed by other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.
