Colombia Braces for Holiday Travel Peak With Seven Million Passengers Expected

Colombia’s transport authorities forecast that more than seven million passengers will travel within the country during the upcoming holiday season, reflecting a strong domestic tourism rebound.

Airlines, bus companies, and airports are implementing operational plans to handle the surge, including extra flights, bus routes, and staff mobilization.

Authorities also urge travelers to plan ahead, book accommodations early, and stay informed about schedules to ensure smooth journeys, especially to popular destinations like Cartagena, Medellín, and Bogotá.

Tourism experts say the influx demonstrates the resilience of Colombia’s domestic travel market and highlights the potential for regional tourism growth, benefiting local economies and small businesses.

The government emphasizes safety and efficiency, implementing measures such as enhanced traffic management, crowd control, and traveler assistance points.

With domestic tourism driving much of the holiday season, Colombia aims to provide an organized, enjoyable experience, strengthening its reputation as a safe, attractive destination for both local and international travelers.
