The Spanish Investment in Colombia



I just read this news. This news is about investment the Eco-tourism program in Colombia. I chose this story because Colombia indicates their are keen to develop tourism industry to be more qualitative than it has been.

The Colombia's government wants to develop country's tourism industry by called for the investment of Spanish tourism companies, pointing out that his country is suitable to be an Eco-tourism destination. The government hopes that the Spanish companies will make a great quality in hospitality, and emphasized on the tax exempts for investment in Eco-tourism. Sergio Diaz-Granados, Colombia's trade minister, said that the main troubles to investment in Colombia are terrorism and drug trafficking are gone, and the number of visitors to Colombia has been increased significantly. Now, the international flights in Colombia have increased more than before 2000, and the investment of foreigners are also increased. However, there is still have a problem about quality of Colombian tourism companies, there have less than 3% that got the quality certificates. So that is why the government wants the Spanish tourism companies to invest in his country. Their plan are to support the excellence of tradition and culture and quality of demands in the provide of many services.

I think it is too fast for Spain to invest in Colombia because Colombia is still have the nation's problems such as illegal drug trade, inflation, and terrorism that may affect to the tourism industry as well. However, I go through many pages about tourist attractions in Colombia, there are many places that might be the popular places because they are very attractive and wonderful. So I hope they will solve their problems and become to be the one of high quality in tourism industry.
