The UNWTO has said that Mexico is now the sixth most visited country globally.
The Mexico Tourism Board (MTB) originally announced the news in April, but the UNWTO confirmed that the country welcomed 39.3 million international visitors, which catapulted Mexico from eighth to sixth overall.
Mexico’s growth as a tourist hotspot is truly incredible. Since being ranked the 15th most visited destination in 2013, the country has jumped 62 percent to its present sixth-place ranking. This increase is the fastest for any large global destination.
Mexico Secretary of Tourism Enrique de la Madrid said in a statement, “Mexico’s historic ascent on the list of the world’s most visited countries is a testament to the fact that Mexico is indeed a world of its own, and one that people want to discover again and again.
We are proud of everything Mexico, and the more than 10 million Mexicans working in this industry, have to offer visitors. I am confident that this positive momentum will continue as more people discover the incredible experiences Mexico has to offer.”
Many reasons are propelling the blockbuster growth of Mexico, including the development of new and existing destinations, the diversification of tourism products and improved partnerships with airlines and hotels.
For continuing the nation’s growth, the Mexico Tourism Board is working with industry partners in the United States and Canada to host unique events and experiences like Formula 1, the NFL and the FIFA World Cup 2026.
