The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) has issued a forecast indicating that the travel and tourism sector in Central and South America is expected to experience growth in 2026 that will exceed overall global travel growth rates. This projection points to a notable expansion within the region’s travel economy during the year.

Key factors contributing to this optimistic outlook include an increase in visitor spending alongside robust domestic demand for travel within these areas. Together, these elements are anticipated to support stronger economic activity related to travel and tourism compared to the international average.
