Cielo Travel is a digital marketing platform that aims to become the most influential digital tourism network in Colombia, working with hundreds of companies across the country by the end of 2025. Its service offerings promote the country’s main tourist destinations, accommodations, festivals, events, restaurants, and tours, all to guarantee exceptional and luxurious experiences for visitors.

It’s not just a booking platform, which will launch in the coming months; today, it’s a digital marketing network focused on building audiences and marketing strategies. Cielo Travel projects to reach between 3 and 4 million highly engaged followers by the end of this year. The company plans to achieve this goal with a tailored service offering and an expanding group of influencers, ensuring unprecedented reach and authenticity in the promotion of tourist destinations—with an engagement rate of 18.35% and monthly follower growth of 5.05%. Clients won’t just increase their visibility; they’ll also see real growth in their revenue.

Its founder and CEO, Christopher Leamon, an American living in Colombia since 2023, found a reason to stay in Colombia: the opportunity for development and business growth in tourism. Through Instagram and Facebook accounts, he now has more than 500,000 followers—a major window for positioning tourism experiences and businesses to luxury travelers.

What sets Cielo Travel apart from other platforms:

  • Offering a segmented and relevant audience (frequent travelers with purchasing power).
  • Massive reach, as digital channels have higher interaction rates compared to others.
  • Building personalized strategies, working one-on-one with each client to provide unique and impactful design and storytelling.
  • Real-time metric analysis, allowing for better planning and responsiveness.

It’s expected that tourism will contribute 10% annually to the country’s GDP this year, with international tourism income potentially surpassing $17 billion, according to the 2024 BBVA Research report.

It’s also important to note that tourism services are mainly sold through digital platforms. The deepening of digital services worldwide has changed the way travel packages are sold. 60% of travel bookings are made online, with a growing trend towards mobile apps and social networks, according to the same report.

Interested companies can purchase Cielo Travel publication packages ranging from $50 USD to $1,000 USD, including posts, stories, and collaborations. The requirement is that the company offers an experience where comfort, excellence, and trust are guaranteed. Cielo Travel is here to redefine tourism in Colombia, ensuring that every experience is unique and memorable.
