The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) has released a forecast indicating that tourism in Central and South America is expected to grow at a rate surpassing the global average in 2026. This projection suggests a stronger pace of travel expansion within these regions compared to worldwide trends.

The report that delivers this forecast was published in early June 2026, providing a timely outlook on the forthcoming tourism landscape. The assessment highlights the increasingly prominent role that Central and South American destinations are anticipated to play in the international travel sector during the year.
