Travel Channel host exclusive screening as part of Colombia in London campaign

The event, which was attended by over 30 UK travel professionals, formed part of Colombia’s 28 day awareness campaign in London. The tourism drive has incorporated a month long taker over of the National Geographic Store in London and a number of pop up events at Victoria Train Station, Westfield Stratford and Harrods.

Thursday’s event saw travel aficionados Alasdair Grant and Charlie Ottley share their own personal experiences of Colombia as well as unveiling exclusive clips from the yet to be screened documentary series. ‘Flavours of Colombia’ will launch on the Travel Channel on Tuesday 21st August at 8pm, the series explores Colombia’s gastronomy, diverse landscapes, natural wonders and the ancient civilisations and cultures which have shaped this enchanting country.

“We were delighted when the Travel Channel decided to come to Colombia for their seventh series of ‘Flavours of…’. The channel has been running for some eighteen years now and is one of the most established and respected travel mediums to operate in the UK. The exclusive screening at the National Geographic Store was the perfect opportunity for some of the UK travel industry’s Product Managers and Sales Personnel to really get under the skin of Colombia and see just how much the destination has to offer,” commented Juan Guillermo Perez, the Director of PROCOLOMBIA – Colombia’s Tourism, Foreign Investment and Exports Promotions Agency.
