Tourism and travel surges in Honduras and Colombia

Overview

Tourism and transport sectors in Honduras and Colombia are preparing for significant travel surges during the October holiday period.

In Honduras, officials expect the ‘Semana Morazánica’ to mobilize over 500,000 people, with an estimated economic impact exceeding 600 million lempiras. In Colombia, the Eje Cafetero region is anticipating high demand due to school recesses and the October 12 holiday.

Specific data from Medellín indicates that over 30% of Despegar’s Colombian tourism operations involve the Antioquia capital. Travelers in the city show a preference for credit card installment payments, and booking methods are split between physical stores (40%) and digital channels (60%). Additionally, Medellín’s transport terminals project more than 715,000 travelers and 61,000 vehicles between October 2 and October 12, prompting increased oversight to ensure safety during the high-demand period.
