Domestic tourism is the driver of travel in the Americas

02-12-23

WTM Global Rep is an exclusive compilation of international surveys that provides an in-depth analysis of the sector's performance in 2023 and a global view of the outlook for domestic and international tourism travel in the coming years.

Edited in collaboration with researchers from Tourism Economics, an Oxford Economics company, and released at WTM London last week, the report uses an extensive databank covering nearly 185 countries to provide analysis from both destination and outbound market perspectives and reveal data related to visit flows, nights and expenditure. The document also considers the impacts of challenges such as inflation, cost of living reductions, strikes, staff shortages and natural crises, among others, on activity.

The Americas segment shows the recovery of business by travel companies in the main markets, driven by the increase in domestic tourism. The report projects that the domestic segment in the Americas will end 2023 with values 31% higher than those obtained in 2019 and shows all countries with better results than those presented in the last year before the onset of the pandemic.
