International tourism in Mexico has finally surpassed pre-pandemic levels, after 10.26 million visitors came to the country in the first half of 2022.
Mexico’s Tourism Department reported on Friday that international arrivals from January to June 2022 were up 1.5% from the 10.11 million tourists who arrived in Mexico in the first half of 2019.
Mexico’s strongest showing was with US tourists. The number of Americans arriving by air in the first 6 months of the year was 6.66 million which is 19.1% higher than in the same period of 2019.
It is not clear whether the war in Ukraine may have played a role in convincing some Americans to vacation closer to home.
