Currently Colombia is the worlds most popular travel destination in the south America Blanket travel restrictions, lockdowns, extended passenger quarantines and rapid case increases of COVID-19 made 2020 the worst year on record for global tourism, and while the panorama eased slightly in 2021, with vaccination roll-outs and accessible PCR testing, the surge of the Delta and Omicron variants continued to discourage many from international travel. The region that saw the highest increase last year in tourism is the Caribbean, up 63% compared to 2020, yet still 37% below numbers registered in 2019. Southern Mediterranean Europe also witnessed a positive rebound (57%), followed by Central America (54%). North America, Central Europe, Africa and Middle East all reported increases below 20%.
As far as South America is concerned, the region’s tourism sector increased 18% in 2021, with Colombia outpacing other popular destinations with a slow, but steady, recovery of 38%. The best performing nations in the most recent UNWTO barometer are Dominican Republic with a reactivation of 91%; followed by the United States with 73%; Paraguay, 56%; Israel, 51%; and Panama, 46%.

Face masks are worn inside and outside in Colombia regardless of vaccination status and we found adherence to be universal. On LATAM flights, cloth masks were not permitted — you had to wear either an N95 or blue surgical type mask. It’s worth checking your airline’s requirements. Entry into the airport terminal in Cartagena is strictly controlled. Passengers have to show their departure details before being allowed to enter no more than 3 hours before scheduled departure. It’s worth heeding the advice to arrive early though as COVID requirements can change and catch people out resulting in more time filling out forms. Colombia requires you to complete a Health Check Migration form (known as Check-MIG) https://www.travels-healthcertificate.com/colombia? prior to entry and a second MIG form to depart the country. Forms are only available online and you can save a lot of time by filling these out before you get to the airport.. The only publicly available WiFi signal in the airport was at a small coffee bar where the WiFi passcode is printed on your receipt once you had purchased something.
