Colombia Tourism
For many years serious internal armed conflict deterred tourists from visiting Colombia, with official travel advisories warning against travel to the country. However in recent years numbers have risen sharply, thanks to improvements in security resulting from President Álvaro Uribe’s “democratic security” strategy, which has included significant increases in military strength and police presence throughout the country and pushed rebel groups further away from the major cities, highways and tourist sites likely to attract international visitors.
Foreign tourist visits were predicted to have risen from 0.5 million in 2003 to 1.3 million in 2007, while Lonely Planet picked Colombia as one of their top ten world destinations for 2006. The improvements in the country’s security were recognised in November 2008 with a revision of the travel advice on Colombia issued by the British Foreign Office.
Popular tourist attractions include the historic Candelaria district of central Bogotá, the walled city and beaches of Cartagena, the colonial towns of Santa Fe de Antioquia, Popayan, Villa de Leyva and Santa Cruz de Mompox, and the Las Lajas Cathedral and the Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá.
Tourists are also drawn to Colombia’s numerous festivals, including Medellín’s Festival of the Flowers, the Barranquilla Carnival, the Carnival of Blacks and Whites in Pasto and the Ibero-American Theater Festival in Bogotá. Meanwhile, because of the improved security, Caribbean cruise ships now stop at Cartagena and Santa Marta.
The great variety in geography, flora and fauna across Colombia has also resulted in the development of an ecotourist industry, concentrated in the country’s national parks. Popular ecotourist destinations include: along the Caribbean coast, the Tayrona National Natural Park in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountain range and Cabo de la Vela on the tip of the Guajira Peninsula; the Nevado del Ruiz volcano, the Cocora valley and the Tatacoa Desert in the central Andean region; Amacayacu National Park in the Amazon River basin; and the Pacific islands of Malpelo and Gorgona. Colombia is home to seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

How to Hiring People in Colombia
As I told you in other issues, Colombia has an amazing and skilled labor force that you can use in several fields. The great advantage is that Colombian labor force is more affordable that hire an employee in Europe or United States where you require of a lot of legal procedures, taxes and other obligations. The most important thing is that you can have the profile ready to hire and you know exactly the kind of people you need.
When you are hiring people in Colombia not only experience is going to be required but have a good presentation, a wonderful curriculum and certifications of courses, degrees and education background. If you are requiring people of office or professional level, it is important that you can evaluate its English level.
Even though TOEFL is not used for jobs –is only used in an academic realm in United States- you can make tests very similar that those applied by diverse universities in Europe, Canada, Asia and United States. I personally think it could be very useful if you are attempting to determine the professional skills in this language.
On the other hand, if you are not interested in hire people directly, you can choose a company that is dedicated to hire people. There are several agencies in Colombia that can simplify the work you are going to do. For instance, if you need an IT professional for a project who knows about Microsoft technologies, you can have this amazing support from this company.
They know more how to find qualified labor force and they are trained for that. If you trust in a company that can do this work for you, you will have a better opportunity to have a more qualified employees that start working in your organization or business.
