The number of international tourist arrivals in the Americas rose sharply in 2023 compared to the previous year. That said, it remained below the figures reported before the impact of COVID-19. Overall, the United States was the most visited country by inbound travelers in the Americas in 2023, with over 66 million international tourist arrivals. Mexico and Canada followed in the ranking that year, with around 42 million and 18 million arrivals, respectively.
