To learn about the news of Ecuador, during the Anato Tourist Showcase we interviewed the Minister of Tourism Rosi Padro de Olguin and the Ambassador of Ecuador in Colombia Rafael Paredes.
The official commented: "It is important to be here at this event, although the leader in the outbound market to our country is the United States, Colombia is the second market for us. 1.5 million visitors arrive in our country, 400,000 are Americans, especially Galapagos but they are also choosing other destinations. While 300,000 tourists arrive from Colombia. "
"With a view to the future, we have 5 priority markets USA, Canada, Germany, France and the United Kingdom."
"In addition, we are working to decentralize tourism in our country and for tourists to meet thriving destinations such as the Amazon and magical towns."
"Among the reasons we are growing, we highlight that we have no climate changes, our currency is stable because we are a dollarized country, our cuisine is first class and above all our structure is important but our people make a difference."
"We formally promote our destinations in the show, but we will also manage with some activities that we are planning through our embassy."
"We have excellent connectivity with Avianca, with two daily flights from Quito to Bogotá, Wingo also operates."
Ecuador's ambassador to Colombia Rafael Paredes mentioned: "Ecuador receives and should promote outbound tourism in southern Colombia, with our beaches as a fundamental attraction. Not only are they closer, they will be the entrance doors to discover other regions where you will find attractions that they will be amazing. Also, our road structure has developed a lot so our neighbors can easily reach it. "
