In 2023, Brazil's economy experienced a remarkable boost thanks to the injection of US$6.9 billion, approximately 34.5 billion reais, from foreign tourists. This impressive capital inflow not only set a record for the country but also catapulted Brazil to the top spot in the ranking of tourism receipts in South America, according to a report unveiled Monday by UN Tourism.

This achievement stands out even more when considering the post-pandemic recovery, placing Brazil in an enviable second position in the Americas with a 15% increase over pre-pandemic levels. Mexico leads the way, while globally, Brazil ranks fourteenth. Serbia took the title of the country with the highest growth in this area, registering an increase of 79%.
