Data from the Goiânia Municipal Tourism and Events Agency (GoiâniaTur) indicates a growing international presence in Goiânia, Brazil. A survey conducted in July shows that international visitors accounted for 5.93% of the tourists interviewed at locations such as the local zoo, the bus terminal, and the Goiânia International Airport.

Visitors originated from 12 different countries across Europe, Oceania, and the Americas. The United States and Argentina were the primary countries of origin, representing 1.98% and 0.85% of total visitors, respectively. Other represented nations included Germany, Australia, Belgium, Colombia, Spain, France, England, Portugal, and Switzerland.

Vinícius Gomes, president of GoiâniaTur, attributed the city’s increasing global profile to major international events, specifically citing the MotoGP Brazil Grand Prix held in March. The survey is part of an annual initiative by the Goiânia Tourism Observatory to conduct 1,500 interviews to monitor trends and guide municipal public policies.
