These results show the joint effort to attract and manage Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions (MICE) by the ecosystem of the City Region, led by the renewed Convention Bureau at Invest in Bogota. It is also evidence of the immense opportunities that this type of tourism, which is complemented by culture and nature, represents for the Colombian capital and its metropolitan area, and speaks of its great contribution to the recovery of the tourism sector in the post-pandemic era, which undoubtedly changed the traditional course of meetings and events.
