Colombia Tourism and Leisure Sector Report 2018/2019

The tourism sector of Colombia has significant growth potential due to the natural and cultural resources of the country. The recent demobilisation of the insurgent group FARC also favours the development of the sector with the improved security environment. In 2017, tourism and leisure accounted for 5.8% of the country’s GDP, including direct and indirect contribution. Over the period 2012-2017, the tourism balance experienced a significant shift, from a deficit of USD 166mn in 2012 to a surplus of USD 417mn in 2017, as the outbound tourism slowed down noticeably, affected by the weak Colombian peso from 2014 onwards, while the inbound tourism surged following the progress in the peace talks with the FARC and the rapid increase in hotel and accommodation supply.
