Mexico's Secretary of Tourism, Miguel Torruco Marqués, has released figures for foreign tourist arrivals by air during the first half of the year, revealing that 2023 is proving to be a great year for the Central American country's tourism industry. 

In the first half of 2023, 10 million 843 thousand international tourists have visited Mexico by air, reflecting a growth of 5.7% compared to the figures for the same period in 2022. 

Likewise, and as derived from information from the Migratory Policy Unit-Registration and Identity of Persons of the Ministry of the Interior (Segob), it also exceeds the arrivals recorded during the period January-June 2019, with 7.2%, when 10 million 117 thousand international tourists were registered. This shows that the tourism recovery after the pandemic is already more than consolidated.
