During the first half of 2026, the formal hotel and tourism sector in Colombia experienced a decline in occupancy, closing the six-month period with a national average rate of 47.4 percent. Representatives from the lodging industry voiced complaints regarding the persistent drop in numbers.
Despite overall growth within the broader Colombian economy during the same period, formal tourist accommodations failed to recover, resulting in a loss of ground for the sector and a weakening of formal employment.
In response to the ongoing downturn and stagnation, hoteliers have formally requested solutions and intervention from Abelardo de la Espriella.
