Receiving this award as a nod from people around the world ratifies that our country continues to headline as a tourist destination at the international level. We continue working to innovate and maintain high standards of excellence in our communication tools such as Colombia.travel, an original and creative website that provides information on what international travelers need to know. We will meet soon to experience all that our country offers to travelers," remarked Flavia Santoro, president of ProColombia.

 

The website has three sections: holidays, business tourism, and business interests. Colombia.travel was recently redesigned and its new layout makes navigation more intuitive. It also integrates the latest technologies, such as Web App and AMP that allow users to save topics as favorites and activate notifications, as well as tools based on the traveler’s needs and preferences.
