Seven places to host events and discover that Bogotá, the Colombian capital, is not just a city to explore. It is a city to leave, to share, and to connect with. It's where business meetings turn into memorable conversations, business into growth opportunities, and conventions into cultural gatherings.
The Colombian capital is one of Latin America's most dynamic event destinations. Business people, artists, entrepreneurs, travelers, and dreamers from all over the world come here. Why? Because Bogotá is not only a point of arrival, but also a point of departure. Each congress, trade fair, or event opens the door to a different experience that mixes business with culture, gastronomy with hospitality, and city with nature.
That's why the World Travel Awards have named Bogota a leading Business destination in South America, beating cities like Lima, Buenos Aires, and Sao Paulo. And it's no coincidence: the infrastructure, the warmth of its people, and the passion for service make every visit an unforgettable experience.
In 2024, our city welcomed over 14.2 million visitors, an 8.7% increase compared to 2023. Moreover, 26.5 % of tourism corresponds to the MICE segment (meetings, incentives, conferences, exhibitions), which means that more and more travelers are choosing Bogota for their business meetings, trade fairs, or conventions.
