Cartagena, Colombia continues to solidify its place as one of the world’s most sought-after travel destinations after earning a major international tourism honour in 2026. The historic Caribbean city was recently recognized as Best International Destination at a global travel and food awards event, further elevating Colombia’s growing reputation on the world tourism stage.
Known for its colourful colonial streets, vibrant culture, and coastal charm, Cartagena has become a magnet for travellers looking for a mix of history, cuisine, nightlife, and authentic Caribbean energy. The city’s UNESCO-recognized historic centre, lined with centuries-old architecture and lively plazas, continues to attract millions of visitors from around the world.
Beyond its beauty, Cartagena has also emerged as one of Latin America’s top culinary destinations. From fresh seafood and local street food to internationally recognized restaurants, the city’s food scene has become a major draw for tourists seeking authentic experiences.
The recognition also reflects the continued growth of Colombia’s tourism industry, supported by national tourism campaigns and international promotion efforts led by organizations like ProColombia. Cities like Cartagena, along with Bogotá and Medellín, have helped position Colombia as one of the fastest-rising tourism destinations in the world.
As global tourism continues to rebound, Cartagena’s latest award signals that the city is no longer just a hidden gem in Latin America — it is now firmly established as one of the world’s premier travel destinations.
