Posts: 68Tourism will drive everything
Just got back from DR and while people were saying the mongering is dead until 2021, that statement was short lived. The new administration said they need tourism to help the country and so tourism sites were not heavily affected except for curfews. But if you know how to move and plan, it was easy to get things setup for after curfew. There were no clubs, but bars were open. You walk around with your mask on, when you sit you take it off if you want. When someone approaches you, you put the mask on. Easy, too easy. I figure Cartagena will be the same way. The beach, no enforcement of social distancing. You wear your mask if you want too, your choice. I just sat away from the crowds.
So now Cartagena is in the same boat. They need tourism to spark the economy, so more than likely touristy things will lead to laxed rules to encourage people to visit and bring their wallets. They know there aren't many places to visit internationally. They will capitalize on that by opening up their biggest touristy city, Cartagena.
And I have heard that the Venezuelan girls have left the city, but not to go back to Venezuela. They said it's bad over there. They moved to Barranquilla and Santa Maria and other cities where prices and rent are cheaper. Just had a shorty tell me this today. She had to leave because she couldn't afford the rent. Some girls had their phones taken from landlords as past rent payments (they are not going to fight that since they don't want to get deported). She said that when the borders open back up to Cartagena, they will be back.
Might be a good time to visit Barranquilla.

Posts: 706Avianca Just cancelled some international flights
Avianca just cancelled some international flights for September, until I think the 15th of October citing a lack of protocols. Better check the web page if your affected.
Bogota, September 8, 2020.
On the Avianca web site:
"Although government authorities have already mentioned a tentative date for restarting international operations from Colombia, some necessary definitions for the operation remain uncertain, such as the lack of clarity in the protocols and sanitary measures for this type of flight.
For this reason, we have been forced to cancel some itineraries. If you have a flight that has been affected by this situation, we offer you these options.

Posts: 516Vague Details on Requirements
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_YjL-gcrDU
At the 5:30 mark they talk about requirement for flights from the United States. My spanish is okay, but not great, I *think* he says that they are not going to require negative covid tests before boarding flights from the US to Colombia, but they are awaiting final list of countries from which they will require tests. Please correct me if I misunderstood something.
So looks like good news overall.

The mayor of Cartagena, William Dau Chamat, announced on Tuesday that on September 21 international flights in Colombia will resume and that precisely that city is entering the first phase of reactivation of this air operation.
"National flights are already arriving, and on September 21 international flights begin to arrive. We received the notification from the president, Iván Duque, and although we still do not have the details, we will communicate and review with the management of the Rafael Núńez International Airport, the airlines and scheduled flights, "said the Cartagena president.
It may interest you: These are the three new airports that will open on September 21.
Cartagena was the first city in the country to request authorization for domestic flights.
"We show that we are prepared for this, as has been recognized by all the authorities at the national level, and that is why they authorize us to take this step. We know that Cartagena, if it is not the first city, it will be among the first to receive international flights ", said the president of Cartagena.
Regarding biosecurity measures, Dau emphasized that all citizens are responsible for their care and gradually reactivate the economy.
"We are ready to receive tourists from any country who bring foreign currency to spend here in Cartagena, what interests me is that the passengers are well cared for, that they do not get infected here, or that they infect ours. At this point it is important that they bring their foreign exchange, to stimulate the economy of the city and the people of Cartagena who need it so much ", he added.
Likewise, he informed that at the end of last week the beach protocol that is to be reactivated in a pilot plan was ready, which includes two specific beaches: Bocagrande and Playa Azul La Boquilla.
"We are working at full speed, we have already defined the entry points, demarcation, among others. Much progress has been made, we hope to be able to reactivate by the first of October at the latest."
See also: Only two beaches will be part of the pilot plan to reopen to tourists in Cartagena.
Dau Chamat assured that in both the protocols of distancing, time control will be fulfilled and warned that, "what we do not want is to return to how the beaches were before, the bathers besieged by the vendors, to avoid this, what we will have will be zones special places where beach visitors can come to purchase the specific products or services they require."

Posts: 582The US will be getting rid of Covid testing for international arrivals, but individual states can still impose quarantines on anyone arriving into the state regardless if country of origin. That will be enough for yes a bilateral agreement that is in the works right now.
