Portrait of Jhowan Quiroga, Product and Operations Analyst of WhereNext DMC Colombia

Jhowan Quiroga

Product and Operations Analyst, WhereNext DMC Colombia

Hi, I’m Jhowan, the young blood of Colombian tourism! Being part of this country’s growing travel scene fills me with pride, but more than anything, I love Colombia: its traditions, its gastronomy, its music, and its people. I’ve traveled through Europe, the U.S., and Latin America, but I’m convinced there’s nowhere like home.

I am the Product and Operations Analyst at WhereNext DMC Colombia.

My mission is to help Colombia grow through tourism that genuinely supports local communities.

My story

Jhowan Quiroga’s story
HomeI was born and raised in Bogotá, and though I frequently dream of exploring beyond it, I carry my city and country with me wherever I go. Travel isn’t just a pleasure, it’s a necessity. It’s how we learn, connect, and truly live. Tourism is the happiness industry, and being part of it makes my work feel deeply personal and full of purpose.
How it beganMy passion began with family trips across Colombia, discovering new rhythms, local dishes, and traditions. That spark became a calling.
TodayI hold a degree in Tourism and Hotel Business Administration, with nearly three years of hands-on experience in guiding, reservations, operations, and now product development. I’m pursuing postgraduate studies in Tourism Business Management to deepen my expertise further.
Outside workI’m sociable, multilingual, endlessly curious, and always energized, whether I’m talking travel, playing sports, or sharing a love for animals and adventure.
