Lodging (destination) in Colombia demonstrates robust growth in 2026, underpinned by record inbound tourism but marked by a pronounced disconnect between visitor arrivals and the performance of formal hotels. This environment is shaped by the rapid rise of short-term rentals and the formalisation of this channel through tighter regulation and compliance requirements. Upscale hotels see continued expansion in outlet numbers and international brand investment, particularly in secondary destinations, even as luxury hotel outlets contract and overall hotel occupancy growth slows. The landscape is increasingly characterised by the pursuit of differentiated guest experiences, with investments in wellness, gastronomy, and sustainability initiatives becoming vital for attracting both domestic and international travellers. Brands seeking success in Colombia’s lodging (destination) environment must adapt by diversifying their offer, engaging with new regulatory frameworks, and targeting growth opportunities beyond traditional urban centres.

Lodging (Destination)
Lodging (Destination) covers the main types of lodging used by inbound and domestic tourists, providing a destination point of view (also known as point of supply). Lodging value is measured in terms of the price paid for lodging by the consumer and businesses based on total room sales. It does not include food and drinks or any other form of revenue that is not directly related to lodging, such as events and conferences and guest services, such as gym, spa, shop, room service, restaurant and café. Lodging volume is measured in terms of number of outlets and rooms at year end, and room nights as total of the full year.
