Colombia Tourism and Leisure Sector Report 2021-2022

Colombia’s tourism sector plays an increasingly important role in the national economy, being now among the main sources of foreign revenue for the country, behind mineral and agricultural commodities exports. It also offers significant growth potential due to the country’s abundant natural and cultural resources. In 2019, tourism and leisure accounted for 4.3% of the country’s GDP. Over the period 2014-2019, the tourism trade balance experienced a significant shift, from a deficit of USD 858mn in 2014 to a surplus of USD 660mn in 2019, 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 Fuerzas Amardas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) guerilla group, a rapid increase in hotel and accommodation supply and improved air connectivity. ​
