Brazil has 92% of the total number of tourists in 2022 in six months – 07/24/2023 – Mônica Bergamo

An unprecedented survey carried out by Embratur (Brazilian Agency for International Tourism Promotion) states that Brazil received, from January to June this year, more than 3.2 million foreign tourists. The number corresponds to 92% of the total registered in the whole of last year, when 3.6 million visitors from abroad landed in the country.

The study, carried out by the agency’s Information and Data Intelligence Management in partnership with the Ministry of Tourism and the Federal Police, also identified that the states of São Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul, Rio de Janeiro, Paraná and Santa Catarina were the main gateways for travelers.

In the first half of this year, the most recurrent country of origin among foreigners was Argentina, with 1.3 million tourists coming from there, followed by the United States (327 thousand), Paraguay (233 thousand), Chile (223 thousand) and Uruguay (199 thousand).

The president of Embratur, Marcelo Freixo, says that there are plans to increase, still this semester, the range of Brazilian tourist destinations in the foreign market.

“We are going to expand our ability to work with airlines to ensure the expansion of routes to Brazil in the international market, so that tourists can easily access the diversity of destinations that we have in our country”, says Freixo.

“With each new route, there are a series of actions to promote our destinations carried out by Embratur, at the origin of these flights, to guarantee that the tourist comes”, he also says.
