Flair Colombia 2021 - Building on Diversity
Discover the dynamics of a fascinating country through the eyes of Ipsos researchers in this wide-ranging collection of articles on society, markets, and people in Colombia.
Colombian society is pixelated in its diversity, made up of clusters of homogeneous groups. Where diversity is present, tensions between groups become apparent. Flair Colombia 2021 "Building on Diversity" reflects this reality at a time when Colombia is marked by protests and differences.
Colombians have always known that one of the characteristic features of their beautiful country is its diversity. In primary school, children learn in detail the range of climate zones scaling altitudes, the immeasurable variety of fauna hosted by the land, the infinite universe of flora that adorn the regions, and the different races and ethnicities that have lived together throughout history. It is all is so rich and prolific that people say that five different countries could comprise the nation of Colombia.
Colombia is a hub of creativity, as shown by the many start-up businesses and innovations seeking to solve local or international problems. As one of the strongest-performing economies in Latin America, looking forward, Colombia wants to be the heart of the “Fourth Industrial Revolution” in the region. There are ambitions to make tourism “the new oil” of Colombia and develop a great paradise of global ecotourism, transforming areas where terror has reigned for decades.
The technological, social, cultural, and economic challenges present within Colombia are both ambitious and fragile. They shape the eyes of consumers as much as the strategies of marketers. They express themselves in all the subjects that you will discover in this publication of Colombia Flair.
