Colombia has been shortlisted for the title of "World's Most Desirable Country" at the 2026 Wanderlust Reader Travel Awards, to be held on November 4 in London. The awards, organized by British travel magazine Wanderlust, are based on a public vote from the magazine's readers, who are expected to number over 250,000. Voting closes on October 27, with the results announced during the World Travel Market, one of the largest tourism events globally.
Colombia joins a competitive lineup that includes Argentina, Belize, China, Costa Rica, Cuba, Egypt, Nepal, Oman, and the Philippines. The category is determined by reader preferences, contrasting with awards decided by industry panels. This marks Colombia's second nomination for the award, with the country previously featured in 2022 in the same category.
Colombia's tourism sector is experiencing a surge, with over 23 million nonresident visitors recorded between August 2022 and March 2026, and foreign-exchange revenue from travel up by 9.4% in 2025 compared to the previous year.
