Description
Summary:Colombia is a country that has achieved significant tourism growth in recent years, yet there is limited empirical evidence about its tourism development.

The findings show that "changes or improvements to existing products or services" and "research and development to create new products" have a significant relationship with tourism product innovation in Colombia.
