As an extension of this European agenda, ProColombia organised for the first time a Tourism Promotion Day in Warsaw, Poland, which hosted an additional 187 meetings with central market stakeholders.

The Colombian delegation demonstrated that the country is a visible and highly competitive destination while remaining strongly committed to sustainability. The diversification of activities in Berlin, together with the strategic conclusion of the agenda in Warsaw, allowed Colombia to continue positioning itself globally as the "Land of Beauty."

The Colombian Ambassador to Germany, Yadir Salazar Mejía, emphasised that the presence at ITB 2026 helped strengthen Colombia's ties with such an important and strategic market as Germany. Six of the country's tourism regions were represented by delegations from 27 leading companies, which particularly highlighted Colombia's biodiversity. This was supported by a dynamic promotional campaign targeting travel agencies, potential new travellers, and visitors from Germany.

The Colombian Ambassador to Poland, Assad José Játer Peña, highlighted the success of the event in Warsaw: "I am extremely pleased with the success of this meeting, held on 6 March in Warsaw, which brought together 12 leading Colombian tourism companies and ProColombia with more than 60 representatives of the Polish tourism sector. This event confirms Poland's growing interest in Colombia as a diverse, sophisticated, and opportunity-rich destination. Poland is today one of the European markets with the greatest potential, featuring a dynamic economy, increasing international openness, and a tourism sector increasingly interested in long-haul experiences, premium products, and incentive travel. Strengthening the tourism relationship between our countries therefore represents a strategic opportunity for both nations. We will continue working to bring Colombia closer to Poland and to consolidate an ever-closer, more productive, and promising relationship between our countries."
