Three years after the beginning of peace talks, the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) are edging closer to an agreement.

Coverage of the talks has focused on various aspects of the conflict — its long-running nature (fifty-one or nearly seventy years, depending on how one defines it), the Colombian public’s pessimism on the FARC upholding its end of the bargain, and perhaps most optimistically, the marvelous business prospects that will emerge in the wake of an agreement.

Colombian sources and foreign journalists alike suggest that foreign investment and foreign tourists will pour into the country soon after any deal is inked.
