This paper aims to provide the key elements of the Colombian tourism policy over the last decade. This policy was initiated at the same time as the policy of democratic security, where through a stronger presence of the security institutions it was intended to create a favorable environment for investment and tourism. In this sense, receptive tourism policy in Colombia is directed at improving competitiveness indicators based on use of the advantages of opportunity of the country. This paper focuses on instruments of tourism policy, particularly in regard to the Colombian receptive tourism services, exploring its impact on the competitiveness of the sector and its future impact.
