Brazil is experiencing an unprecedented boom in its tourism sector, with international arrivals soaring by nearly 50% in the first five months of 2025. This remarkable growth signals a vibrant resurgence for the South American nation as a top global destination.
From January to May 2025, Brazil welcomed a staggering 4.8 million international tourists, marking an impressive 49.7% increase compared to the same period last year. The momentum continued strongly into May, with 461,000 foreign visitors gracing its shores, a significant 37.4% rise year-over-year. These figures are not just impressive; they are truly exceptional when viewed against the global backdrop. While the UN Tourism forecast for international tourist arrivals worldwide hovers between a modest 3% and 5% growth for 2025, Brazil is projected to achieve an astounding 50% increase.
This incredible surge is a testament to Brazil’s enduring appeal, from its vibrant cities and rich cultural heritage to its breathtaking natural wonders. The top source markets contributing to this influx include neighboring Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay, alongside a strong showing from the United States.
The continued growth underscores Brazil’s increasing prominence on the international tourism stage. With such robust figures, the country is cementing its position as a must-visit destination, promising even more exciting developments for its tourism industry in the years to come.
