03-02-23

Visa's Emerging Travel Trends report highlights the latest preferences that define the motivations for travel abroad, as well as the payment preferences of Latin Americans and Caribbeans. While there are differences among the top 12 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, there is a common denominator: travel has become more than just a lifestyle or social status indicator, it is now a well-deserved reward for hard work.

In general, travel abroad is more accessible, with fewer restrictions for less well-heeled travellers who plan and save for a holiday. Most are looking for memorable experiences and on average, consumers in the region travel 1.9 times a year, preferably to regional destinations.
