Even in the current harsh economical climate around the world, the tourism industry in Colombia is booming!
According to the Colombian minister of trade, Mr. Luis Guillermo Plata (what a name for a trade minister: plata is slang for money in Spanish!) reports that 436,833 foreigners entered the country in the first three months of 2009, which is up 14.5% from the same period in 2008.
That makes tourism the third biggest industry of Colombia after dr.... noooo!... after coal and oil!
It's interesting to note that 25% of the tourists entered Colombia on board of one of the many cruise ships.
