Bogotá puts final touches to World Travel Awards Gala Ceremony preparations

With less than a month to go before Bogotá welcomes the World Travel Awards Latin America Gala Ceremony 2015, Bogotá Turismo has unveiled the latest details of the event. 

The red-carpet ceremony will take place on October 10th, centred on two iconic locations in the city.

Hosting the award presentations will be the Teatro de Colón, before guests move to the Plazoleta Camilo Torres del Colegio Mayor de San Bartolomé in the historical city centre of the Colombian capital for the gala dinner.

Bogotá Turismo Director Tatiana Piñeros Laverde said: “We are going to have a night to remember.

“Winners at the World Travel Awards will be treated to a magical show, against scenery filled with fantasy and spectacle.”

“This is a chance to Bogotá to exceed the expectations of the world.”
