The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) anticipates that the FIFA World Cup 2026 will serve as a key catalyst for tourism growth throughout North America. This major sporting event is expected to encourage a notable increase in travel activity across the region.

While some travel policies remain a point of discussion, the overall outlook from the WTTC indicates a robust surge in visitor numbers linked to the World Cup. The event is projected to contribute positively to the tourism sector and economic opportunity for host cities and broader North American destinations.
