According to local media, including El Pais, four Americans recently failed to enter the country after arriving at Medejin Airport in Antioch, Colombia.
They failed to consistently explain the purpose of the visit during the immigration office's review process. In response, the authorities strongly suspected the possibility of prostitution tourism. In the end, three had to return to Panama City and one to Orlando, Florida.
A spokesperson for Colombia's immigration office denied entry to four Americans as part of enhanced immigration screening and measures to eradicate sex tourism in the Antioch region" he said. "One traveler in particular was immediately denied entry because he had an unusually large number of condoms and sex-related items," he added.
According to the city of Medejin, a total of 102 people have been denied entry so far since 2024. This year alone, about 70 suspected prostitution tourists in the Antioch region have been denied entry, most of whom are known to be Americans.
Colombian authorities say that "we will never allow children, teenagers and women to be subject to sexual exploitation" and that "our fight to eradicate sexual exploitation is absolute and lasting.'
