1. This region has a unique tourism industry
On planet Earth, you will not find tourist experiences like those offered by the Colombian Pacific region. Its natural conditions are so unique that they break records, and the experiences offered by nature are fascinating.
Here, the tourism industry has the advantage of having these conditions, which have allowed it to gain relevance within this sector nationwide. This is thanks to the possibility of witnessing events such as whale watching at certain times of the year, an experience that is not available in many other countries of the region.
In addition, the presence of beaches and traditional towns in the area allows tourists to get to know an authentic place.
An example of this is the offer presented in Colombia Travel, where towns such as Nuquí or places surrounded by tropical rainforests such as Bahía Solano stand out.
In addition, cities like Cali and its great festivals add value to the tourist offer. There, tourists dance with the rhythms of the Colombian music with the Petronio Álvarez Festival, which shows the world the beauty of Colombian sounds and dances.
All this makes the tourism industry a business advantage. If you are interested in making an investment in this sector, you will find that the unique characteristics of the Colombian Pacific will offer you competitive advantages over other tourist offers in the region.
2. Pacific coasts offer opportunities for businesses
Colombia has a strategic location, which provides great logistical and commercial advantages to companies that come here. The country, located in the heart of the Americas, is the only one in South America with coasts on the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean.
This has positioned the country as an export platform, with the capacity to take goods to other ports of the region in competitive times. This is also thanks to the port infrastructure that the country has developed. Right in the Colombian Pacific region there are two important port areas responsible for trade in this place of the country. These are:
- Tumaco’s port.
- Buenaventura’s port.
Both ports boost the national economy, giving maritime connectivity to areas located in the interior of the country with ports in places such as the United States and the European Union, among other destinations in the world.
A company that locates its production plant in Colombia will be able to take advantage of this port infrastructure, which will offer connections with other countries in the region.
On the other hand, the fact that Colombia has coasts on the Pacific Ocean has offered the country the possibility of being part of the Pacific Alliance, one of the most ambitious regional integrations in the world, which gives it the possibility of improving the trading processes with other countries that are part of that organization.
Among these are:
- Chile: One of the strongest economies in the region.
- Mexico: Colombia's third largest trading partner in the world.
- Peru: A country with which Colombia has strong trade relations and shares borders.
This is why the Pacific Ocean coastline is an advantage not only for the region but for the whole country. This has opened the doors of the national economy to world markets and will undoubtedly offer advantages to you as an investor in the country of beauty.
3. Cities located in the region
The Colombian Pacific has vibrant cities, full of talent with the capacity to offer high-quality services and products. Here are some of the cities that have these qualities.
