ANATO´S TOURISM FAIR -COLOMBIA
For the first time the company where I work sent me to the Anato´s Tourism Fair in Bogotá Colombia, Anato is the most importan tourism fair in Colombia, is a space where tourism operators and tourism companies of all over the world come to have business meeting and to know the new tourism offer of the department and cities in Colombia. Of course Huila (my department) participated in this fair showing to the people all the tourist attractions we have in this beautifull land called HUILA.
The Fair lasts 3 days, I traveled really early so when i came to the fair was almost empty, this was good because I was be able to look all the stands without to much people and take some pictures.
This is the stand of Meta's department, Meta ( yes is also goal in spanish) is a department situated in the east of colombia. Meta with other departments like casanare, Arauca y Vichada, are also called "llanos orientales". All this area is like the cowboys area for Colombia, called "llaneros". The economy on this departments are based on petroleum and livestock, but also they are developing the tourism of the region.
