The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) projects that the travel and tourism sector in Central and South America will grow at a rate surpassing the global average in 2026. This anticipated outperformance reflects a broader trend in the region’s tourism industry as it prepares for an expected increase over the coming year.

Visitor spending within Central and South America is forecast to climb, supported strongly by persistent domestic tourism demand. These factors together are expected to contribute significantly to the region’s travel and tourism growth during 2026.
