Iguazú National Park has seen significant visitor activity across its regional borders. In Misiones, Argentina, the park reached a milestone of one million visitors, though Misiones Tourism Minister José María Arrúa noted that national economic conditions are causing shorter stays and reduced spending in local sectors like accommodation and gastronomy.

In Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, the park is preparing for a surge of approximately 25,000 visitors during the September 7 Independence Day holiday weekend. To manage the crowds, authorities plan to open gates early and offer special programming, including live music, artisan markets, and specialized sunrise or astrotourism experiences.
