Colombia’s tourism reactivation outperforms international figures

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Data from ANATO, the Colombian Association of Travel and Tourism Agencies, confirm that the passenger flow on international flights worldwide last June 2021 reached a reactivation of 19%, while it reached 55% in Colombia.

According to ANATO’s executive president Paula Cortés Calle, ‘Colombia has benefited from the flexibility in the requirements for travelers to enter its territory. We believe that these figures can improve as markets of interest to us lift their entry restrictions. Likewise, the devaluation of the peso against the dollar has boosted domestic air traffic and the inflow of travelers.”

Regarding passenger transportation in domestic flights worldwide, June 2021 showed a 78% reactivation.

Cortés emphasized that “we have seen that despite the impact on tourism in the past year and a half, the industry has tested entrepreneurs’ innovation and adaptability. We are optimistic about the future of travel and hope to soon return to normality to further demonstrate the sector’s resilience and strength.”
