The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) anticipates that the FIFA World Cup scheduled for 2026 will lead to a substantial increase in tourism activity throughout North America. This major sporting event is seen as a key factor contributing to heightened travel demand across the region.

While there are ongoing discussions regarding existing travel policies, these concerns are not projected to significantly hinder the tourism growth associated with the tournament. The WTTC suggests that despite potential challenges related to travel regulations, the overall impact on the sector will remain positive.
