Tourism takes more force in Bogotá celebrating the 486 year

The August 06, 2024, the city Bogotá fulfilled 486 years of its founding, and are becoming more and more international tourists who visit it, so much so, that increased 5.6% in the first half of 2024, having received over 860,000 foreigners so far this year.

According to the latest report from the Observatory of Tourism of Bogotáthe tourism of Bogotá has had a significant growth in numbers, both domestic and foreign tourists when compared to the year 2023, this is due to the taste of visiting the capital, increase of passengers in the terminal of transport, new flight connections and the occupancy rate of accommodation during 2024.

Of all the citizens, guides and providers of tourism services, among others, depends on that Bogota continues to be a national and international reference, a tourist city, welcoming, and improve customer service in all its dimensions, invigorating the local economy, neighborhoods, neighbors and all the people who directly and indirectly we are benefited.

The Tourism Industry is a flag of the National Government current, it is by this, that also secretaries and institutes territorial as the RTD, are working together to facilitate and enhance more to Bogotá to the outside, seeking to attract more foreign tourists, not only of the traditional countries of where you visit us, as the united States, Canada, Spain, Brazil and Peru, but look to other international markets and continents such as Asia and the middle east.

We are convinced that the National Government is betting seriously to achieve the goal of attracting more than 7.5 million foreign tourists to the country, and we know that in a good way, hoping that at the end of the year, a figure achieved overcome, and by the year 2026, the arrival of tourists is greater than the 10 million foreign tourists.
