Overview

What is Airbnb revenue forecast in Cartagena?

An Airbnb revenue forecast is a month-by-month projection of occupancy, ADR and revenue for one property, shown next to the same figures for comparable listings. It is used to test a purchase, an arbitrage lease or a new listing before money is committed, and to set revenue targets for a live listing.

Demand drivers in Cartagena: Walled City and Getsemaní tourism; Colombian long weekends; Wedding and group travel; Rosario Islands day trips. Typical guests: Colombian and international travellers on 3 to 5 night stays. Where the work starts: Holiday and long-weekend premiums, group-home pricing, and rainy-season floors.

Airbnb revenue in Cartagena depends on calendar awareness. We load every Colombian puente, Christmas, New Year and Semana Santa into the pricing calendar months ahead, with minimum stays on the strongest weekends. Group homes in the Walled City get per-guest and event pricing for weddings and celebrations. During the rainy season, we protect floors and use flexible stays rather than cutting rates across the board.

The full service is described on our airbnb revenue forecast page; this page covers how it applies in Cartagena.

Market guide

Cartagena revenue management market guide

Cartagena is a holiday-calendar market. Colombians fill the city over Christmas, New Year, Semana Santa and the many Monday holiday weekends, known locally as puentes, while international visitors arrive from North America and Europe for the Walled City, Getsemaní and boat trips to the Rosario Islands. Weddings, bachelor parties and group trips are a big part of demand, so large colonial houses with pools can earn far more than standard apartments on the right weekend. The Hay Festival in late January adds a cultural peak. September and October bring heavy rain and quieter streets. We price Cartagena around puentes and holidays, set group-home pricing and protect rainy-season floors.

Where demand concentrates in Cartagena

Walled City (Centro Histórico)
Colonial houses, boutique hotels and the highest rates in the city. Large homes with pools suit weddings and groups, so price by the house rather than per room.
Getsemaní
Street art, bars and a younger crowd just outside the walls. Weekends and nightlife drive demand, and smaller units compete on location and value.
Bocagrande and Castillogrande
High-rise apartments near the beach, favoured by Colombian families and domestic holidaymakers. Puentes and school holidays matter more here than international demand.

Rules and taxes to price around in Cartagena

Tourist rentals in Cartagena must be registered in Colombia's National Tourism Registry (RNT), and the city has stepped up enforcement against unregistered rentals in the historic centre. Apartment buildings in Bocagrande often restrict short stays through horizontal property rules. Check your registration, building rules and any city requirements before setting a nightly strategy.
