Mexico Expecting 40 Million Visitors This Year Travel Off Path
go to original May 30, 2022

Mexico is expecting as many as 40 million international visitors to enter the country this year – which will see the nation near a return to pre-pandemic tourist numbers.

Prior to the global Covid-19 pandemic, Mexico had in fact set a national record when it comes to the number of foreign visitors entering its doors – with 45 million people from around the world visiting the country in 2019.

And, of course with the huge number of visitors comes a significant amount of expenditure – and this was certainly the case prior to the outbreak of COVID-19, with Mexico having seen in excess of US$22 billion spent by international tourists during their visit to the country.

These numbers have understandably dropped in the last two years – with the COVID-19 pandemic having caused endless border closures, lockdowns and a variety of other restrictions on a global level.

However, there is no doubt that Mexico is leading the way when it comes to its tourism industry’s recovery – with the nation having been the most ‘open’ and popular throughout the last two years.

And, even during the outbreak of the more transmittable Omicron variant – earlier in the year – Mexico was still welcoming masses of tourists, which resulted in it becoming one of the most visited countries in the world.
