South American tourism and travel demand growth

Overview

South American travel demand has shown significant growth, with Brazil emerging as the second-most searched destination in the Americas. Data from Amadeus and UNWTO indicates a 29% increase in search volume for Brazil between May 2025 and April 2026, driven largely by travelers from the United States, Canada, Japan, and the Philippines.

Regional tourism is further supported by seasonal trends and new connectivity. While winter sports in Argentina and Chile attract South American visitors, specific regional routes are seeing high demand. For instance, a new direct flight route from Vitória to Buenos Aires reported selling 70% of its tickets within 15 days of launch. Additionally, travel packages for Brazilian destinations like Porto de Galinhas are being promoted to meet rising interest.
