The travel and tourism sector in Central and South America is expected to exceed the global average growth rate in 2026, according to a forecast published by the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC). This projection highlights the region’s expanding role in the global tourism landscape in the coming year.

Key factors contributing to this anticipated growth include a rise in visitor spending across the region and resilient domestic travel demand. These elements are driving the strength of the tourism recovery in Central and South America and are expected to sustain the sector’s performance throughout 2026.
