El Salvador's remarkable tourism boom, which contributed more than $3.7 billion to the local economy last year, is largely attributed to the citizen security policies implemented by the administration of President Nayib Bukele. These measures have had a positive impact not only on the country's security, but also on its attractiveness as a tourist destination, especially motivating Salvadorans living abroad to visit their country of origin.

The WTTC stresses that this growth in tourism is a testament to the potential of El Salvador and Latin America as attractive destinations for travelers from around the world. It also highlights the importance of continuing with policies that promote security, investment in tourism infrastructure and the development of unique experiences that attract international visitors.

This report not only highlights the dynamism of the Salvadoran tourism sector, but also invites reflection on the role of tourism as a driver of economic and social development in the region. With El Salvador leading the way, Latin America is positioned as an emerging and promising destination for international tourism, ready to welcome travelers in search of new experiences, rich culture and unforgettable landscapes.
