Argentina Leads with Strong Tourism Recovery

In Argentina, both international and domestic tourism flourished in October 2025, with a reported 11.6 percent increase in total passenger traffic. The country’s tourism sector is benefiting from stronger domestic connections and the reopening of international routes. Domestic traffic saw a growth of 9.9 percent, supported by increased flight frequencies on routes from Buenos Aires to several tourist hubs, including San Juan, Mendoza, Salta, and Jujuy.

International tourism also showed significant growth, with Argentina experiencing a 15.1 percent increase in international passenger traffic. The country’s status as a major South American tourism destination has been reinforced by airlines such as LATAM and Emirates increasing their flight frequencies. The resumption of Delta’s New York route is also expected to bring more visitors to Argentina, particularly tourists seeking cultural and historical experiences.

Tourist arrivals in Argentina are not just restricted to capital cities. With strong demand for flights to regional destinations, including Mendoza and Salta, Argentina’s diverse tourist offerings from wine regions to natural parks continue to attract international visitors. The continued support of airlines and the growing availability of flights are key drivers of this tourism uptick.

Brazil Sees a Steady Rise in Travel Demand

Brazil, too, has seen a robust recovery in its tourism sector. The country’s October 2025 statistics show a 9.8 percent year-on-year increase in passenger traffic, reflecting continued growth in both domestic and international tourism. Domestic travel accounted for the largest share, growing by 10.3 percent, while international tourism increased by 13.2 percent. These positive trends are driven by improvements in tourism infrastructure, increasing flight options, and rising consumer confidence.

Brazil remains a popular destination for global tourists, with Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and other cultural and coastal destinations drawing travellers from around the world. Domestic tourism is thriving as well, with tourists increasingly exploring Brazil’s vast and diverse regions. Whether for its iconic beaches, vibrant culture, or natural wonders, Brazil remains a top tourism hotspot in Latin America.

Armenia’s Growth Reflects Emerging Tourism Potential

Armenia, a growing tourism market, reported an impressive 15.3 percent increase in passenger traffic in October 2025. The country has been increasingly recognised as a unique and attractive destination for travellers seeking rich history, ancient architecture, and natural beauty. This growth is attributed to the introduction of new routes and increased airline activity, including the establishment of Wizz Air’s new base at Zvartnots Airport.

Armenia’s status as an emerging destination in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus region has been reinforced by the launch of direct flights to several European cities. The rise in international passenger numbers, combined with expanding flight offerings, suggests that Armenia is positioning itself as an important player in regional tourism.
