Colombia Tourism & Leisure Sector Report 2019/2020

Colombia’s tourism sector has significant growth potential due to the country’s natural and cultural resources. The recent demobilisation of the insurgent group FARC has stimulated demand for tourist services due to an improved security environment. In 2018, tourism and leisure accounted for 5.6% of the country’s GDP, including direct and indirect contributions. Over the period 2013-2018, it experienced a significant shift, from a deficit of USD 330mn in 2013 to a surplus of USD 757mn in 2018, as outbound tourism noticeably slowed, affected by the weak Colombian peso from 2014 onwards, while inbound tourism surged following progress in peace talks with the FARC, a rapid increase in hotel and accommodation supply, and the January 2018 decision by the US Department of State to reclassify Colombia as a safer travel destination for US citizens.
