In this section, we present the videos that show our tourism campaign “Colombia, the risk is wanting to stay”. It was based on the testimonials of nine foreigners who came to visit and decided to stay for good. This is why we chose people with different ages, sexes, professional profiles, and interests. And this is why we managed to send the message that “there is room for all”.
Aside from the multimedia material, we invite you to see the campaign’s official video and the animated video. A confirmation that the only risk in coming to Colombia is that you may fall in love with its scenery, incredible diversity, people, gastronomy, fairs and festivals, handicrafts, and colors.
