The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) has projected that the travel and tourism sector in Central and South America will experience growth rates beyond those seen globally in 2026. This anticipated outperformance reflects a positive outlook for the region’s tourism industry in the coming year.

Key factors contributing to the expected expansion include an increase in visitor expenditure alongside robust domestic travel demand within Central and South America. These elements are expected to underpin the sector’s strong performance relative to the worldwide market.
