Tourism is expected to grow by 30 percent over the next two years. New hotels, farms adapted for agritourism and better road and air connections have been key to keep attracting travelers from Colombia and around the world.
The Coffee Region is pure tourism: nature, adventure, sports, experiences, culture and events. The three departments that make up the so-called coffee triangle, Risaralda, Caldas and Quindío, report encouraging recovery figures for the sector, in some cases with indicators similar to 2019, the year before the pandemic, when a total of 55,798 arrivals were recorded between January and December.
The growth projection for the next two years is 30 percent. According to the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism, tourism accounts for 4.67 percent of national GDP and reported revenue of 16.6 trillion pesos in 2021. However, Colombia has not yet matched the extraordinary number of travelers recorded in 2019: 4 million non-resident tourists. By August of this year, 2,382,000 had been recorded, of whom 48,300 entered through the Coffee Region. The national government's goal for the region is to increase the number of visitors by 30 percent, that is, to reach 73,000 non-resident tourists by the end of 2024.
