Brazil continues to see robust growth in international tourism and business travel. By September 2026, the country surpassed 7 million international tourists for the year, with air arrivals accounting for over 4.9 million. September 2026 marked one of the strongest performances in recent history, with over 568,000 international visitors arriving in that month alone. Growth is heavily driven by specific international markets. China remains a key emitting market, and while Argentina is a primary source, competition from the Caribbean and Miami is rising. Other significant markets include Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and Canada. Regional performance remains strong, particularly in the Northeast, which saw a 32.5% increase in international arrivals. Specific states reported massive air arrival surges, including Rio Grande do Norte (124.6%), Alagoas (88%), Pernambuco (65.2%), and Paraíba (48%).
