The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) projects that global travel and tourism will continue to expand through 2026, with various regions experiencing differing growth rates. This outlook provides a broad view of how the sector is expected to perform on an international scale in the near future.

Among these regions, Central and South America are forecast to see travel and tourism growth rates that exceed the global average in 2026. The WTTC highlights these areas as poised for stronger expansions within the travel sector throughout that year, reflecting promising prospects for tourism-related economic activity across both regions.
